I love that someone else is so committed to hunting down decent meals in the gastronomic wasteland that Midtown initially appears to be. You give fantastic recommendations and have a really great sense of humor. Just one little thing, I know that your Valentine's Day suggestions were meant to be somewhat tongue in cheek, but do keep in mind when writing reviews that just because someone is female, doesn't mean they don't love a cheesy, meaty, fatty meal or appreciate cheap places. I would rather a greasy pulled pork sandwich anyday over a frou frou rice or salad dish (and I would never go for something as pointless and airheaded-trendy as a coach bag, $19.00 h&m bags seem to hold my stuff just as well). Also good to remember, (esp. since we're in NYC), that when it comes to romantic date lunches, there are scads of men who will be taking their men out, and scads of ladies who will be taking their ladies out!

I can't bring myself to take anyone to HTZ, though I'd go to Hooters... at least Hooters is cheap. Though I've never been to a Hooters with actual hot waitresses. Gross.
