New York (NYC) Midtown
NEW YORK CITY - BEST RESTAURANTS
Introduction
It's the big apple, Sex and the city, yellow cabs, skyscrapers, Wall Street, Studio54 and yes: This is metropolis, this is THE one city, the one and only real city. Everything is fast, everybody is fast...the city wants to be discoverd by day and night, every day of the year and especially during Christmas time with its thousands of dizzying, luminous lights. Visit the iconic Empire State Building (save time and get a "Fast
Track" to pass the waiting line), Lady liberty, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural History (great fun for the whole family), Times Square, Lincoln Center, Rockefeller Center (rent skates during Christmas time) or have a "picnic" in the Central Park, where Kevin "Home alone - in New York" got lost; and....shop in upscale Madison- and Fifth Avenue!

Is Thomas Keller really the best chef? 28/30 in Zagat! But without a doubt, Thomas Keller is amongst the greatest; food is excellent and "orgasmic"; good for business dinners, but have enough time on your hand - a 15 course menu can last hours; and don't forget, this place is pricey; amazing view over Central park; Friday to Sunday also open for lunch
SERAFINA
This restaurant which is part of a chain doesn't look like the spot celebs want to go, but don't be surprised if you spot Sean Combs just having a great pizza surrounded by his bodyguards or Elle Macpherson having a casual lunch with her kids; our favorite is the one on Broadway

A must in Midtown!
