$$ Indian, Buffets, Vegetarian . LAMB CHOPS - BEST IN MANHATTAN. Yeah I said it! It comes with a price tag but after one bite you'll know why. 48 hour process for cooking their chops. The food is amazing, authentic punjabi food.

$$ Mexican, Tex-Mex. Their margaritas are like none other. They are delicious ( not too tart, not too strong-tasting), very strong- I usually just have one or at most 2, and obviously, the best priced that you can get in New York! as I do miss their "make-your-own-quesillda," some of the newer ones that have been added to their menu are pretty good. I also love their chips and salsa. The atmopshere is so much fun, plenty of fun party music, hip and fun decor and lights and overall a great experience! Whether it's a party, girls night or one-on-one, You can't go wrong!!

$$$ - Upscale Chinese cuisine. Red Stixs serves traditional, Beijing-style food so you have your standards: Scallion Pancakes and the signature Peking Duck, along with Jade Dumplings, Crispy Beef, Lobster Rolls, Spare Ribs, Specialty Fried Rice and their famous Chicken Satay. The menu is what you'd come to expect at any upscale Chinese restaurant, but without the Mr. Chow markup. Which is not to say it's cheap.

$$$ French, Jubilee is clearly a favorite of the midtown east neighborhood. The restaurant makes up for its lack of excitement with well-prepared, delicious french fare. The bread they bring at the beginning of the meal is great as is the field green salad (I really like the tarragon vinaigrette dressing. The free range chicken and angus steak are both very tasty. Again, nothing super exciting going on here, but quality food prepared well.
