Mother's Day Suggestions near Times Square

Apikoros18

Taking the wife for the King Tut Exhibit at the Discovery Center... Where should we eat? She has a preference for Mexican/Tex-Mex style but we are open to ideas... Something NON-touristy. Sorry Bubba Gump Shrimp fans.

    i hate to recco rosa mexicana, but that's your only other option.

    That means Chevy's is out too then. That's in TS but not something I would recommend. Def. can't bring wife to a Chipotle. ;P
    If you want NON-touristy, you should get away from TS.

    Maybe Dos Caminos, Rosa Mexicano or Mama Mexico but they aren't near TS.

    Sinigual is okay for Mex, it's on E. 42 but I like the other places above more.

    cant persuade her to go a different route? Tex Mex in manhattan?!

    heard some good stuff about Agua Dulce - http://www.yelp.com/biz/agua-dulce-new-york

    it's a tad north of times square.

    Dos Caminos might be a decent option, given the category.

    There's a mexican joint on 46th (brasil row), near my favorite restaurant... Ipanema!

    (sorry, I can't mention 46th without thinking of ipanema).

    Anyway, that place always looks crowded, but not touristy. In fact at late night it turns into a bit of a dance club or something...

    Nothing says "thank you for bringing me into the world" like meat, cheese, and wine.

    I've heard decent things about El Fonda Del Sol which is more upscale. It's closer to Grand Central than Times Sq.

  10. Hell's Kitchen on 9th could be perfect http://www.hellskitchen-nyc.com/

    Hey adamprato - shill for impanema much?

  12. StreetMeasOnsumer3008

    He loves that place. If you been here long enough, you'd know. Plus he doesn't work for Impanema nor wants to eat there everyday for lunch. :)
