We have always been huge fans of Magnolia, so when we got married we had a cupcake tree instead of a wedding cake. The Magnolia staff (Misty in particular) were amazingly helpful and sweet (no pun intended) in getting the details just right for us.
We ended up giving away cupcakes in individual boxes as favors as well. All together it got to be pricey, but not more than a normal wedding cake.
I'm going back Saturday to get a red velvet cake for a friend's birthday and the Magnolia cook book is a favorite of mine for baking at home!
Pros: Amazing cakes and cupcakes (of course)
Cons: the calories

My family is from Texas and we visit NYC every now and again for a dose of theater and fun. No trip is complete without a trip to Gray's. This time, we were no where near 72nd street, but made the effort to stop by anyways. Yes, they are only dogs, but oh what wonderful dogs. We kick butt with BBQ in Texas, but no one here can make a good dog for diddley. We missed the Obama sign, and probably stood right behind it while chewing. I didn't vote for him, and I'm scared of what he might do, but my stomach and taste buds don't care about politics. They do know yummy-ness when they eat it.
Pros: Best Hot Dog
Cons: who cares about sitting

I had my daughter's birthday party here awhile ago, about 40 guests. They did a great job. I know a few of my guests can be difficult, but they were very professional and kept everyone happy. The food was so good, they kept the drinks filled and everyone enjoyed. I couldn't be happier. So glad I picked this place!
Pros: Neighborhood, Service, Decor
Cons: None

I have eaten at so many steak houses all over the country and beyond, and I always rely on ruth's to be on the money - I can not believe these reviews... first of all people are making like it is so expensive - stop and think.... how much does it cost when you go to applebees? Maybe it is just me but our bill for two with tip is always close to 50 bucks and we don't drink.... so... for the $100 bucks (without drinks again) that you would spend at Ruth's Chris - you wouldn't agree that it is worth it? It is not 2 times better - it is a million times better. They have football sized filets cooked to perfection.... Perhaps it has been a while since I have been to this location - the last one I went to was the one in Long Island on Valentine's, maybe the city one is too 'city' - give the one in Long Island a try - or Jersey - they are usually on point - service, food, experience.

The food here is great, especially given how inexpensive it is. I have eaten here at least 100 times and never had a bad or even so-so meal. What's more, they never stop creating new dishes, though this ambition is executed with moderation and total lack of pretentiousness. The atmosphere/overall crowd is mellow, mixed and youthfully alive, regardless of actual age (which runs the gamut.) The music also rocks.
Pros: food, service, atmosphere, price, hours
Cons: noise level at peak times; that it's no longer open 24-hours

WOW - this place is awesome to have a dinner party! I planned my friend's bachelorette party dinner here for 14 girl and we loved it. We had a large table set us in the back and the waitstaff and management were attentive and provided great service for the whole night. The pre-fixe menu we decided beforehand along with the 2 hours unlimited wine/beer price made it a no-frills and easy night for all. The food was delicious, a great value and awesome portions. I couldn't have asked for anything more! THANK YOU.
Pros: Great food & value, friendly staff, group parties
Cons: Cash/Amex only

Everytime I go to this restaurant I am inspired and reminded why it's great to be a vegetarian. They really keep it interesting, decor is nice, service is generally good... A winner all around, even for meat eaters.
Pros: Veggie delights
Cons: the water is served without ice.
