foodies: help!

If you wanted to eat one good meal in New York City, didn't eat meat (other than fish), and wanted reservations for this weekend, where would you go? Meat on the menu is absolutely fine, as long as there are nonmeat/fish options available as well.

Barbetta's (http://www.barbettarestaurant.com/). Gorgeous townhouse with a beautiful garden, and the Italian food is scrumptious, and the Italians do know their way around the fishies...

I absolute adored Madhur Jaffrey's restaurant in midtown but I can't remember the name of it.

how nice of a place are you looking for?

since those requirements match my diet, the two places i've been itching to go are Yuka (all you can eat sushi for $18, 2nd ave between 81st and 82nd) and Mexican Radio, but neither one is the type of place that requires reservations.

from my "where to eat in NYC memory category, veek and hammercock weigh in.

(sadly, i have no suggestions of my own. i need to fix this.)

Hmmmmm.

Can you get more specific? That doesn't really narrow it down enough. *) Where in New York? What else do and don't you eat?

The New Leaf Cafe in Fort Tryon Park is great.

I can't help with Saturday night dinner, but..

Saturday lunch: Peanut Butter & Co (http://www.ilovepeanutbutter.com/) - the all-peanut-butter, all-the-time restaurant!
Saturday dinner: ? (I prefer low-key places like... uh... that Carribean place near the Roger Williams Hotel?)
Sunday breakfast: The Popover Cafe (http://www.popovercafe.com/). Guess what they're really good at making?

1. Try posting this to food_fiends!
2. Applewood in Brooklyn, WD-50, Hearth, Public, Hangawi, Blue Ribbon, and I could totally go on....but most definitely Applewood. Don't miss Applewood!

Knowing your appreciation of fine cheeses, I would recommend Artisanal.

I had a predictably awesome pastrami sandwich at the 2nd Ave Deli today. 2nd Avenue and 10th Street.

the Moules (mussels) at Les Halles are perfect.
