HOME > Chowhound > Manhattan >  Alfresco Dining BYOB  Inthemood
Aug 9, 2011 03:05 PM  Dear chow aficionados, can you please
suggest a restaurant (anywhere in Manhattan). Which meets the
following criteria:  - Creative menu - Mexican, Latin American,
Middle Eastern, Asian (minus chinese or thai), New American,
Non-traditional italian (not really into family style and large
portions), Mediterranean, Seafood, French - Outdoor seating -
Not very expensive (under $20 per entree) - Pleasant decor - Not
loud  I know that it's quite a lot to ask for, and probably
would not fall under the "Not very expensive" category, but I
would love to get a few suggestions. Hopefully there are a few
options which meet most of the requirements.  My dining
companions are very adventurous, and love good food. What they
don't care for are very loud, and "slightly'" dirty restaurants.
Thanks in advance!    1. k     kathryn Aug 10, 2011 07:44 AM
