This sounds really interesting, so i will have to check it out. I am staying with my brother in Brooklyn, but will be spending an equal amount of time in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I am wide open to any interesting restaurants. I really enjoy asian cuisine, BBQ, steakhouses etc but like i said i am open to anything thats worth stopping at. Price really doesn't matter. Probably go out for one or two expensive meals and keep the rest in the mid range. Thanks guysAt korin ask them to show you the Shiki locked in the drawer. That's if they still have it.
Now we have a start point
Momofuku Ssam:A menu inspired by what the chefs there like...i respect the ideal and like the food
Thanks guys, lot of good tips. I am going to stop by Cut Brooklyn to check it out, i am curious to see what the shop is like. @ Line Cooked, I looked up some of those places and they sound cool, will be stopping by Fette Sau for sure.

keeping with the brooklyn theme, not too far from fatty cue and fete sau is Radegast Hall & Biergarten.
again, a few blocks away is Berry Park with a cool rooftop and nice selection of tap and bottle.
Don't miss Spuyten Duyvil if you're in Williamsburg and interested in beer. This list is worth taking a look at.
Barbecue in NY leaves me underwhelmed. None of the usual suspects (Fette Sau included) could be considered a destination, nor are any of them among NY's best restaurants. They're good if you have a craving, but if I was visiting NY, I wouldn't fritter away a meal on any of them.
My favorite steakhouse in the city by a mile is Keens. Peter Luger is undoubtedly good too, but lacks Keens's wonderful atmosphere (and mutton chop). I like eating in the bar room. Two hot recent openings (The Dutch and Minetta Tavern) have highly regarded steaks also.
I usually send out-of-towners to Shopsins for a diner-on-crack breakfast or lunch, and the tavern room at Gramercy Tavern for a lovely, very NY dinner.
For a fancy meal, my two picks would be lunch at Per Se's lounge/salon (get there when they open and take the window seat overlooking Central Park, menu at the bottom of this PDF) or Jean-Georges (for the price of one of Per Se's entrees, you get a full 3-star experience). Eleven Madison Park and Momofuku Ko would be my runners up. Ko is slightly redundant if you're going to Ssam Bar (which you should).
I highly recommend Kyo Ya if you're into Japanese food. Ippudo serves the best ramen in NY, followed by Totto.
Lots of cool suggestions dehory, thanks for all the links as well. I will for sure look into your suggestions. @*******, no i can't afford to eat at Per Se haha
I would have freaked at those prices even when I could afford to eat there before the crash. With that said, I guess you have to do things like that at least once in your life if you have the means.
I agree, I went to Vegas with a few friends once and we ate at some of the nicest places on the strip. Amazing food but it hurt the wallet for sure.
