Food

You had mentioned you'd like to try something different for dinner:

Karina mentioned if it's only Woody & Soon Yi: Philippe http://www.philippechow.com - a restaurant Soon Yi likes and I phoned, they will be very accommodating...

Other options, but the timing may not be great:

http://www.jojorestaurantnyc.com/ Jojo is a Jean Georges (Dinner begins only at 5:30p, which could likely cause the food to arrive only after 8p..)

http://www.cafeboulud.com/nyc/ Cafe Boulud @ the Surrey (Also 5:30p dinner opening...)

The Palm (Your steak place)

Nello

Scalinate-la

Atlantic Grill sushi)

Carrivagio (just in case)
