Will be in NY mid march via train....visiting the empire state building and need a place, not just any place, but a great place that will be remembered for a long time to have either dinner or late lunch before heading home on the train...open to all cusines and price levels

You can easily walk to Keens Steakhouse. It's iconic. Porterhouse is dry-aged, the mutton chop is wonderful, the prime rib is epic. Best selection of single-malt Scotch in the city. Been around since 1885. You won't leave hungry.

If seafood is your preference, I highly recommend Le Bernardin, 155 W. 51st. (bet 6th & 7th Ave). Your meal will be most memorable and will be a short cab drive down 7th Ave to Penn Station on 33td St. That's only a mile and a half. Reservations are hard to come by so you have to plan well ahead.

If you have the time (and the budget), head to Eleven Madison Park. For a more reasonable (but still upscale) and more convenient option, go to Keens.
