Getting very excited trip is this week! Thanks so much for all the suggestions! We are taking them to Trapeze School and would love some lunch ideas for the area of Pier 40. Always grateful for your help!

My girls are Carolina Girls, and love Shirley Temples, ballet dancers fashionista, playing the trumpet and karaoke!! No tattoos!? Thanks for all the good info.

Good idea..probably will skip the seafood..

Great ideas, so helpful

Thank you thank you!

Love your post, we live near Cape Lookout south of Outerbanks, and I would send you to Crabshack for seafood where the local ladies do the cooking!!

What do you mean I shouldn't ask for suggestions

Thanks the planning will be a group effort, the girls are doing their research. They want to do trapeze school. Bless my heart!!

No way they would enjoy a three hour meal, that's three hours they could spend in Times Square shopping, museums and loving the City.

Thank you so much!! Lots of great choices. Guess you consider Johns the best pizza experience? Making memories with my granddaughter and great niece is priority! We live on the coast of North Carolina, so we know good seafood. So I always ask where do the locals like to eat? That is the question we are always asked!!

We are going to NYC in June 2016. Thanks for the tip. Definately going to Juniors!! How is the food at Ellen's Stardust?

Mine would love the experience! They would want to dress up for dinner! Thank you

Local to us is where we go eat on the coast of N C, no tourist traps or chains. Some place that we would recommend to people that visit here.

Thanks we need all the help we can get!

Thanks for the great post. Kathryn you re such a wonderful foodie. Looking forward to the cocktails.

We are coming November 8th only there 4 days. We are staying in midtown east close to Grand Central Station. $100 a day for eating, probably do breakfast at hotel, except one day trying to go to Clinton Bakery. Don't see anything on chowhound about the Central Park boathouse for lunch, good food or just a tourist trap? We live on the coast of North Carolina, love good seafood if you have any recommendations would appreciate them.

This is a great post. We are coming to NYC in November, this will be so helpful. We are hoping to eat moderately, this should help allot. For the best steak dinner where do you suggest?

Is it Stameys??

Saw your post about an Apple Stack Cake, my husband is from south west Virginia. I made he one of these last year and it was awful, wasted alot of our homemade apple butter that we made over a fire in a 10 gallon copper kettle. Please send receipe I would love to surprise him.

I know this is an old post but would love to get the receipe for the Apple Stack Cake, I made one last year and it was awful. Wasted alot of our homemade apple butter.
