My girlfriend and I will be in the city next friday, saturday and sunday. I want to take her to a nice place on saturday night. I know i'll need to make a reservation today or tomorrow so I am asking for some descent suggestions. I don't want to spend more than $300 total as hopefully the Sabre/Rangers will go to a game 6 and i'll need extra funds for 2 tickets to that game. Doesn't need to be a mainstream, trendy place. Almost rather go to a killer unknown but great establishment.

Gray's Papaya

Edit - sorry obviously a terrible suggestion based on your parameters... I've just been craving it recently...

Ha, just came back from lunch there.

They just increased their prices. It used to be $3 for two dogs and a drink. It's now closer to $4. wtf.

Also, OP, there are about 50 thread similar to this one.

We went here. Afghani restaurant - it was extremely delicious and very authentic.

u,

For $300 total dinner for two you can eat pretty much anywhere. Pick a style of food and go to opentable.com. If the restaurant website doesn't have a menu, yuo can find it at menupages.com.

Blue Ribbon (and any other good restaurant that doesn't take reservations) is going to be a madhouse on a Saturday night. citysearch.com is a good resource for finding good places. Their review pages often have links allowing you to make reservations at opentable.com.

opentable.com is an excellent resource, thanks for the info.

Under steak/seafood, Dylan Prime looks like a great place. Any personal trip reports?? Its in Tribeca (wherever that is).

I went there when they first opened, and it was pretty good. Its a nice space, and the food/martinis were good.
