Default NYC Lunch this saturday, any recommendations?

Going to the autoshow at javits, and figured I'd hit a nice lunch. Casual attire preferred (by casual I still wear a button down shirt or sweater and shoes, but a nice pair of jeans). Price not that big a deal, cuisine I'm open to, with the exception of a mainly seafood place. Not looking for a burger joint or the "standard" steakhouse which is why I'm asking here not anywhere else where I'd get a Ruth's Chris recommendation or something...... Looking for a nice lunch, bottle of wine....

Sorry I should have added that I worked on Houston and Varick for 5 years (as a consultant so really work all over manhattan) and I frequented the "frequented" places like Greys and Katz etc. Thanks for the other suggestions though, I'll look into them.

I'm usually a good steak house guy, but want to do different this time as I only get into the city about 5 times a year. Last time I went to Del Friscos and before that I went to Uncle Jacks for some Wagyu.

I've never checked out Les Halles, how is the food? I don't mind going to a cliche type place like this if the food is good.

unfortunately, ended up scrapping the idea as my father surprised me with some tickets to a comedy show last nigth, ate at a great french-thai restaurant in Somerville, NJ called Origin, always amazing food, some of the best meals I've had.

last night, I went to a local place for ribs before the show...

today, I'm trying to figure out what to do with a nice ribeye in the fridge.....

Starland ballroom is almost walking distance, dad got tickets to the "killers of comedy" with the comedians from the Howard Stern show.

Ate a 'Sayreville Bar' for Ribs.
