"Reasonably" priced restaurants

[artcampb]

I used to spend alot of time in Manhattan and I knew the good and inexpensive restaurants, but that was many years ago and I'm sure most of those places are gone. I'll be back again later this month and would appreciate suggestions. I know "reasonable" is relative and has changed, but how about less than $150 for two?

How long ago did you live here? If you can name some favorites we might be able to help...

Does $150 include wine?

The Waverly Inn was my favorite way back in the 70's.

There was also a place called Brew's on 34th street that served only hamburgers, but great ones.

some italian suggestions in the east village / LES- frank or supper (casual), appiz, lavagna, cacio e pepe (cozier, a bit more upscale)
