New World Grill

Where else can you go in the city where there is a full outdoor courtyard filled with potted plants and trees with a casual dining area. I'd say it's enough that you're not forced to crowd into the sidewalk in order to secure an outside table. And this is in midtown. Where's a girl to eat in this neighborhood? Which leads me to the food. Prepare yourself to eat fresh fish and delectable appetizers at a price that you are used to paying about $6 more for at restaurants of equal quality. But even more amazing is the fact that this place does not enforce the ridiculous NY outdoor dining rule that the only way to get a table is to order dinner. Instead you can get a table for cocktails only and settle in without being hassled for a turnover, as this place is all about having a good time. more

I haven't eaten any food here, but I have taken advantage of their frozen margarita happy hour. This place has wonderful outdoor seating at the World Wide Plaza- looking into the courtyard and fountain. The drinks packed a punch, but I am not sure I would try the margaritas again; both me and my date felt queasy later, and we didn't have more than one each. (What kind of tequilla do they use?). more
