4 places we recommend in Midtown.
$$$$Seafood
Midtown, Manhattan
Eric Ripert's temple of fish has held the city's highest honors for decades. If there's one special-occasion seafood meal in America, this is it. Book well ahead — or try the lounge, which serves without the formality.

$$$Seafood
Midtown, Manhattan
Beneath the Guastavino-tiled vaults of Grand Central since 1913. Sit at the counter, order a pan roast and a dozen on the half shell, and feel the city hum. Stick to the counter and the classics; that's where the magic lives.

$$$$Greek
Midtown, Manhattan
Whole fish displayed on ice, sold by the pound, grilled with lemon and olive oil. Milos is Greek seafood at its most luxurious — and prices to match. Go at lunch for the prix fixe — the same fish at a fraction of the dinner bill.

$$$$Steakhouse
Midtown, Manhattan
Ninety thousand churchwarden pipes on the ceiling and the last great mutton chop in America. Keens is living New York history that happens to serve superb steak. Start with a single malt in the pub room — the scotch list runs deep.
