Nice picks, although I would skip the faux French brasseries and stick with what is quintessentially New York, or whatever's left of it. Here are a few adds: Gotham Bar and Grill: probably the best nouvelle cuisine restaurant in the US with impeccable service to go with it. Don Peppe's Vesuvio: a bit of a schlep but perfectly situated near JFK on pick up or drop off day. Forget the Torrisi's and Frankie's b.s. This is the gold standard for authentic Italian American. Go with a group and feast on baked clams, linguine with marechiare, pink sauce with shrimps, chicken chinese and scarpariello. The Palm (original location 2nd Ave) still THE great old school NY steakhouse. Get the gorgonzola salad, NY strip, cottage fries and creamed spinach with some cheesecake for dessert
