lol! i was only saying that because there was an article in the paper last week about a woman suing them for food poisoning, i keep forgetting that not everyone reads the NY papers... no offense intended....

Any of the "top 5" romantic restaurants listed in the NYC Zagats will be more than outstanding, and expensive to match... TotG does a lot of corporate parties and the room(s) are HUGE so it doesn't really have that romantic feel to it.

The Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center might be a good choice, mostly because they just reopened the observation deck on the roof so dinner and a stroll out to the deck might do the trick without having to change venue from dinner to "proposal locale", or might facilitate working the proposal into either before/during/after dinner all at the same place.

And St Patrick's Cathedral is across the street if you're of the Roman Catholic persuasion and feel like stopping in to let God in on the good news after you're done

Also, don't ask people from NJ about good restaurants in NYC, some, not all, but some (no offense intended to residents of my newly adopted State) think that Olive Garden in Times Square is some good Italian

Just googled that. Sounds interesting! I'm concerned on how to get down there without her suspecting, mmmm? Also timing would have to be key. Weather, sunset, and crowds. I'd probably go during the week so that might help with it being crowded. Thanks I'll keep that in mind

i suggest getting dinner down the street from it, and just walk up to the promade, its not very crowded at all after 9ish. On a clear nite ur jaw will drop.

Congrats...
I was under the same dilema and finally stopped thinking too much about it and I just took her to a nice dinner (Top of the Hub) we both had a good time and afterwards we went to Mohegan Sun for celebrating....
Good luck w/ whatever you decide to do.

With patience and humility and hard work they generally do. Get her a BMW, won't hurt.

Sounds like a keeper!

You've been together for a while now so you must have a shared tradition, special event, a common interest or even a running gag that you can work off of. IMO, doing something grand just doesn't cut it if there isn't some underlying shared meaning to it (other than the obvious one).

Best of luck and let us know what you decide on!
