Maiaolino, Locanda Verde, The Breslin (but no reservations and long wait), Pulino's is the new McNally place, and Mad about Chicken is fun for groups - part of the new Korean fried chicken craze in the 30s. Have fun

The Breslin does take reservations for their whole suckling pig meal, IIRC.

It would also help if you tell us what places you liked when you lived here.

Your request is way too vague. You need to narrow things down- what kind of food do you like, price range (give speciific amounts) neighborhood, how many in your group. The more detail you give, the more useable responses you'll get.
