First off, thanks so much for all the patient help. We are staying at the Sheraton Centre. We love good food, decore usually isn't an issue...if the restaurant is pricey, that's OK, then we hope its quiet so we can relax and enjoy. Loud is good if it is inexpensive, and hole in the wall takeout is good too, especially after a lot of shopping.

In Vancouver last year, we spent so much on Boxing Week sales, we lived in Noodle Houses to make up for it in our budget.

We are quite adventurous in what we eat. Any seafood is great...any oriental as well...no need for Italian though, we live forty miles from NYC...there's tons of good cheap Italian food here. If possible, we like to get great dishes that stink in the places here. For example, there's nowhere outside of NYC close to me where I can get good Thai food...I tend to get that at least once during a getaway.

Decor-wise, trendy for the sake of trendy isn't worth it to us. We were never the "too cool for the room" types. I'd rather a tiny place with amazing food.

Because we are used to NYC prices, any tab under $100 for two for dinner won't shock us, and that's without alcohol. If a place is amazing and hugely expensive, we try to go there for lunch to save $$$, and then find a noodle house for dinner.

Back to the airport issues, we are flying Jetsgo (can't beat $55 each way, no matter what) so I don't know if that effects our choices, based on what Terminal we arrive in.

Once again, thanks so much for all of your help. Feel free to pick my brain for restaurants in NYC or at the Jersey Shore.
