Re: Trendy NYC restaurants

Il Bagatto on the Lower East Side. Great Italian food. VERY NYC kind of place. A tourist would walk right past it. (That's if a tourist was ever on the lower east side).

You have to like a place that is so proud of one of their dishes that it says on the menu--NO PARMASEAN ALLOWED.

Don't think its snooty. I know it sounds like it. Its just very cool and they treat their food like art rather than mass producing it to make a lot of money.

Re: Trendy NYC restaurants

I have been to Il Bagatto a bunch of times and I definitely would not call it trendy at all.

These are a little old and not the newest around, but some of my faves:

Spice Market
Balthazaar
Pastis (for brunch)
Tao
Buddkahn
Buddha Bar
Butter
Mesa Grill
Megu
Nobu
Per se

Hmm...maybe I'm misunderstanding "trendy." I guess NYC-esque would be a better description.

The View in the Marriot Marquis.
DH and I have been there a few times.
If they are visiting from abroad, they would love it. A panoramic view of NYC!
Make reservations first

I loved Balthazar, but found it very loud. The food was outstanding!

Eleven Madison Park is great too. They have a chocolate souffle to die for!

The Spotted Pig is fun for brunch.

Cafeteria for lunch.

You can take them to SEA in Williamsburg for dinner. Very trendy.
