nyc: I plan to go to NYC for Christmas Eve and I would like to have dinner at a fancy resturant.Does any know of any fancy ones?Besides Gramercy Tavern and The Four Seasons.Somewhere where I can wear a dress.|||For Italian - Del Posto , in the meatpacking district (owned by Iron Chef Mario Batali) For Japanese - Morimoto - also in the meatpacking district (owned by by Iron Chef Morimoto) Daniel - in the Tribeca area|||Serendipity... I love this resturant in NYC it's one of the best and the desserts are wonderful.|||THe View in the Marriott Marquis in Times Square. I think it's on the 48th floor and dress ranges from hotel guest casual to evening wear. The best part of all -- the dining room is circular and revolves so you get a view of the skyline. Prices were a little high but it was really nice.|||try the Rainbow Room on Rockefeller plaza it's very nice you get a view from the 65th floor and the dress code it's very formal it might be hard to get reservations though and it is very expensive. they also have a bar.http://www.rainbowroom.com/|||My favorite is NOBU. Even if you don't like sushi, they have excellent Japanese food. It is hip. The service is excellent and you may even see a movie-star. I went to the one in the theater district, but I know they have a least one location in the Village|||You can go to Mr. Chow's---gourmet Chinese food. Absolutely wonderful!!! I do believe it is a 5 star restaurant.|||I checked in on www.opentable.com to see which NYC restos had availability on 12/24 during dinnertime for a two-top. Unfortunately, all my fancy picks were all booked (Aureole, Chanterelle, Bouley, BLT Prime, Craft, Daniel, Jean Georges, Le Cirque, Per Se, Rainbow Room, etc.) But here are some other options that I think are worth of dressing up for: For awesome seafood, try BLT Fish - 8:15pm - http://www.bltrestaurants.com Cru for elegant European cuisine. If you're especially into wine, you should dine here - 8:45pm - ttp://www.cru-nyc.com For some very well regarded Italian, try Fiamma. They are doing a prix-fix xmas dinner (as I suspect a few other restaurants will do as well) - 6:45 or 9pm - http://www.fiammarestaurant.com Yikes, Nougatine at Jean Georges only has a 9:45pm reservation open....but that would have been nice as well. If you are into caviar, smoked fish and French food, check out Petrossian - 7:45 or 8:45 - http://www.petrossian.com Town serves awesome American food and is located with the Chambers Hotel - 7:30pm or 8:45 - http://www.townnyc.com For some romance and city water views, check out the Water Club - 6:30 or 8:30 - http://www.thewaterclub.com good eatings :) let us know what you picked!|||if you like steak, try peter lugers maybe. always a good time
