Hello All~
We will be staying in Chelsea next weekend and I am way behind on restaurants. We will be in town for 4 days and are looking for some great spots while we are there for lunch and appetizers/dinner. Our group of 4 has an age range of 42-70 and we love great food and wine. We are not looking for anything inJean-Georges scale, but would like some memorable spots to find throughout the City.
Any suggestions are appreciated!

maitaitom had a great trip report with Chelsea as their homebase. I'd do a search.
I really enjoyed my dinner at Colicchio and Sons a few months ago. Certainly not the cheapest place, but I think the 4-course menu at $82 is good value.
In West Chelsea, 9th and 10th Aveunes, 23rd south to West Village...

This area of Manhattan was without power following Hurricane Sandy and these local businesses really need your support.
If you find restaurants you like, do make reservations, even if you are going to a simple neighborhood type place. The city is incredibly busy, and Chelsea is a very popular weekend dining destination.
If you are looking for something simple and good, I like Tello's on 8th Avenue and 21st Street. Nothing fancy, but very reasonably priced Italian food.
Suenos in Chelsea is modern Mexican. The food is delicious.
Sarah,
The prix fixe lunch at Jean Georges is only $32.00 for a 3 course meal. Actually, this is kind of hard to beat for what you get - a pretty amazing NYC dining experience.
You can also go a la carte in the more casual Nougatine next door - same kitchen and food...
Del Posto has a $39 lunch prix fixe.
Thank you for all of your help! Those are perfect recommendations. Now I am hungry
Cheers,
Sarah
I highly recommend Red Cat, Tenth just above 23rd.
