NYC Romantic Restaurants

I will be meeting my boyfriend in NYC this fall and I am looking for a
restaurant to have a romantic meal. I have read about several
including Tavern on the Green, River Cafe in Brooklyn, Cirque 2000,
etc. They all seem to be very nice, however I've heard that some
restaurants in NY are becoming too touristy. I am not too concerned
with the price; I'm willing to splurge for a night. Does anyone know
about any of these restaurants or know of one that is very romantic
and might not be in a guidebook? Thanks for your help!

The Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory is right next to the River Cafe. What better
recommendation can one give? s

I needed a place to take my parents for their anniversary, and after much
hunting, I settled on Cafe Rosso, in the West Village. It was fine for
our purposes, not super-expensive, not cheap, but what is in NYC? Food
was nicely polished Italian, fancy but not toooo trendy. It seemed quiet
enough, but we were early and it was kind of empty. Probably a bit more
romantic if you get there after dark.

Zazarac House on Hudson St in the Village. It has a fireplace, enclosed
sidewalk seating, mixed Cajun and All American cuisine. I like
restaurants with sidewalk cafes, for me they have a cosmopolitan
romantic feel. Greenwich Village has many. Also it's the home of
Monte's a Village tradition in Italian eating. It's unpretentious and
has those classic red checked table cloths and breadsticks that several
chain Italian food places try to emulate.

Stay away from Tavern On The Green, it's major touristy. There are a
number of mid-priced to upscale restaurants at South Street Seaport.
They are right on the river and most tourists don't go to them because
they're more attracted to the food court. While Windows On The World
can never be replaced there's Windows On New York. It has a nice
selection, and a nice view of the city.

The most romantic restaurant in Manhattan is probably Terrace in the
Sky, at 119th Street and Morningside Avenue. It's a bit off the beaten
path, but worth the trip to the Columbia University neighborhood.

It's in the penthouse of the Butler Hall residence, and has 360 deg
views of Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens and NJ. On some nights there is
live entertainment, frequently a harpist or string quartet.
The food is also excellent, among the tops in Manhattan.
