I need a NYC restaurant recommendation...

[chesspain]

Within the hour, my girlfriend and I are driving down to NYC for an overnight trip, during which time we will be going to the opera tonight and the Jets game tommorow...unfortunately, both will probably be tragedies [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]. She remarked that she might like Italian food tonight.

So, can anyone recommend a nice, but not exorbitant (e.g. under $100 for dinner for two with one drink each) Italian restaurant in the vacinity of either Lincoln Center or our hotel in the Grand Central Station area?

Gabriel's on 60th between Broadway and 9th avenue would be a good choice. Very good Italian and should fit the budget nicely.

If not, there are 4-5 restaurants across the street from Lincoln Center that fit the price range, but I'm not sure about the cuisine.

Edit: Gabriel's is about 5 blocks from Lincoln Center. If taking the subway, go on the 7 from Grand Central to Port Authority and one stop north on the A train (Columbus Circle). It's on the north side of the Time Warner Center.
