nyc: For my 16th birthday instead of having a sweet 16 party i might just go to nyc stay in a hotel with some select few friends and go out to a fancy restaurant where you have to dress up all nice and what not, where though? any ideas?|||That depends on the budget of your family and cusine you like. http://411newyork.org/guide/2007/04/11/n鈥?/a> http://menupages.com|||...Most of the places in Manhattan with the tastiest food are pretty lax about their dress code. Of all the places I've ever dined in town, pretty much the only ones that require that you 'dress up' are Per Se, Del Posto, and Le Bernadin. Unless you're prepared to spend $500 a person, dressing up is not a prerequisite. Of course, if the dressing up is the part you're looking forward to, you can still throw on some fancy duds and eat somewhere even if you're a little over-dressed. It's your birthday; do what you want. I am always a fan of... Batali's Ottp for delicious pizzas and pastas Bar Boulud for charcuterie and provincial French favorites Joseph Leonard for homey New American The Spotted Pig if you feel like waiting forever for a table But seriously, even if you turn up in sequins and a feather boa any self-respecting NYC restaurant will take your money|||CHILD PLEASE!!!! It depends on how much your family is willing to spend. Why Go to NYC just for a dinner??? And not see a Broadway show ??? Or Sight-see. The places that you would like to get all fancy for, you need to be 21 and older. i would go start the day off with sight see. have a mini salon day mani pedi blow dry.Go back to the hotel to get dressed. Have dinner at a decent place that's not so pricey. They're a dime a dozen in NYC. then go see a Broadway show!!!!|||That depends on the budget of your family and cusine you like. ^^^ Agreed!... For a special birthday I would go to a restaurant that serves my favorite kind of food.|||mcdanalds
