① Mission Chinese Food

For those who like it hot, head down to Danny Bowien's Lower East Side spot. The kitchen, helmed by James Beard Award-nominated chef Angela Dimayuga, is known for unique takes on Sichuan cooking. Heat seekers will want to order the thrice-cooked bacon and rice cakes, mapo tofu, or Chongqing chicken wings.

② American Cut

Marc Forgione's modern steakhouse is a diamond in the Midtown rough. Start with a chilled corn soup, move on to a perfectly cooked filet mignon and end on a sweet note with the Cracker Jack Sundae. Oh, and the best part: The meal comes with a side of waffle fries.
