Restaurants near the Hilton @ 54th & 6th where I've had good meals. Most of these are moderate to expensive. Remi (new italian), Maristella's (italian), La Bonne Soupe (inexpensive French bistro), Beacon (rotissiere), Cite Grill (great steaks etc), China Grill (nouvelle chinese), Molyvos (greek seafood), Heartland Brewery (microbrewery w/good menu), JUdson Grill (new american), Osterio del Circo (owned by the Le Cirque folks), Tang Pavilion (chinese) ,Trattoria del'Arte, and Victor's Cafe (cuban).

Let me know if you need other ideas or information. I focused on the ones that are within a few blocks of the hotel. Cheers, Anne
