Chef Posts on NYC Restaurants

Hi, I would love you guys to tell me and everyone which restaurants are the best and worst in NYC so to make myself a restaurant guide when I move there next month. I know it's also going to be helpful for other people.
Thanks!

I could help you more with Chicago restaurnats but NY....I hear Mesa Grill, Bobby Flay's restaurant, is up there. I'll probably get slated for this, being Bobby isn't too popular around here and Mesa seems like a mainstream, typical place to say good things about. I have never been but I know people who have. The food was excellent there......so I have been told.

I agree Zagat Survey, 99 % of time dead on.

As I said in a similar thread, I don't frequent many fine restaurants (can't afford to) but Cosmic Cantina is one of my favorite NYC eateries.

Where are you moving in New York City? Manhattan?

If so, I would recommend New York City New York Steak House, Ruth's Chris Prime Steak Restaurant
