Felidia is also great for lunch - not so busy. Great menu. I have lunch meetings there pretty often. They do a roasted branzino at lunch that is very simple but really great.

and we've yet to mention brooklyn - check out carroll gardens, cobble hill, ft greene, williamsburg and park slope for lots of great chef-owned and operated restaurants (many are in zagat or the Time Out equivalent of Zagat). Also lots of great ethnic foods - and the Red Hook Ballfields for Latin and South American food stands.
