Balthazar
80 Spring St (& Broadway) - 212 965 1414 - Owned by Keith McNally, Balthazar is the grand sister of Pastis & Schiller's. I've never actually eaten a mean here but what a scene. Busy, buzzy, get a reservation. At night is full of Soho's glamourati during the day it's full of the next generation media moguls making deals and breaking promises.
If you're just visiting for one day or you have some swanky friends coming into town, try Balthazar.

Le Monde
2885 Broadway, New York, NY 10025, Phone: (212) 531-3939 - Spacious French-bistro-style restaurant with seating to watch the collge freshmen and women go by. You have to have the burger. It's in my top 3 in New York.
