Happy New Year

Could anyone recommend a nice, romantic, non-touristy, restaurant in NYC suitable for a post-proposing meal? cost not so much an issue as good food, service and romantic ambiance.

the one at the Rockefeller Centre - downstairs, where the skating rink is in winter (it opens up for diners in summer). Had Xmas dinner there years ago. Can't tell you anything about current food or service (and I have no doubt there will be tourists there) but it was a nice place. If you're still planning the proposal itself, they've just reopened the roof garden at the top of the Centre, said to have great views, so that might be a good place to go down on one knee.

Jimmer, I can recommend the website www.opentable.com as a means of getting that all important table reservation in advance, whist still being in the UK.

If money is no object:

Alain Ducasse at the Essex house (very formal).
The Gramercy Tavern (my pick, high praise).
Nobu (Very good star spotting � astronomically high prices).
One by land two if by sea. (Great American dining),
Daniel (Very Intimate/romantic � French).

Let us know how it goes, and good luck!
