The dinner will be on the early side as I will have just flown in from Europe for a business trip and need to get up early and work the next day. Some thing to keep in mind: - The meal must be meat. I eat dairy and fish and non-kosher restaurants so this isn't interesting for me. - East side or below the park is better. - My parents are used to excellent food and I don't want to bankrupt them either as they could care less about keeping kosher. The restaurant doesn't need to be fancy but I can more about the food than the decor. - I have in mind Le Marais which is my favorite old stand-by or perhaps Tevere (I have been to their dairy restaurant and enjoyed it) so that should give you an idea of price range. - If no one has an positive interesting recommendations I will probably just suggest the second avenue deli (I realize some people don't consider this kosher) as I don't want to waste their money and have them be disappointed.

It's kind of like Prime Grill in that steaks are served alone and sides are a la carte.

Abigaels compares with Le Marais price wise and food wise. I have always enjoyed Tevere . Wed Nov 04 05:35:28 -0800 2009 5154257 155834 momrn 2 5154842 IMO, LCG is a clear notch below PG. Wed Nov 04 08:08:26 -0800 2009 5154432 12009 DeisCane 1 5155370 Wolf & Lamb is pretty good. Wed Nov 04 10:20:26 -0800 2009 5154257 275690 dfsny613 2 5156997 I like wolf and Lamb as well but I have found to be inconsistent - one day as good as any steak house in NYC and then the next day mediocre Wed Nov 04 19:27:32 -0800 2009 5155370 11622 weinstein5 1 5156951 I like Solo - on 55th and Madison (in the Sony Atrium) Wed Nov 04 19:10:00 -0800 2009 5154257 1102205 brooklynkoshereater 2 5156959 Make sure you check out the prices first, since Solo is more expensive than any other kosher restaurant in New York as far as I know.
