It doesn't have to be necessarily for the food but for the experience.
For example, The View and Ninja.

Is a trip to New York City coming up for you? The thought of just where you will be eating has probably also crossed your mind. As there are thousands of great places that you can pick from, the task of getting that down to only a handful or so might just prove to be ultra challenging.
NYC is world renowned for the tasty pizza you can find there. Luzzo's, in the East Village, is one great place to get Neapolitan pizza. I think their pizza is definitely some of the best I have ever had, and lots of other folks feel that way too. It is always fresh, hot and sized perfectly.
John's Pizza, which can be found in the West Village on Bleecker Street, is another place you may want to try. Often referred to as one of the best pizzerias in all of Manhattan, you will see that there is usually a long line to stand in and wait for this delicious pizza.
You can't come to New York City without getting a taste of its bagels. One good place to check out when you are uptown is one of the H&H Bagels stores.
There are two Murray's Bagels stores that can be found on the West side and you should make a point of stopping at one of them when you are downtown. Choose a spread that you like and put it on them when they are nice and hot - you will enjoy them immensely.
If you are thinking about burgers, some of the best-tasting ones in the entire world are found in New York City. Shake Shack is the place that so many folks think has the tastiest burgers. It is relatively easy to get to and there are two main locations.
There is one that is in Madison Square Park. Now, if it is cold out, you might not want to go here since it is right in the park and there is not any indoor seating.
The other one happens to be an indoor Shake Shack eating establishment located on the Upper West Side, so whether or not it is cold out is not going to matter. The choice is up to you as to the location you go to, but, when all is said and done, you will satisfy your hunger with their delicious burgers, fries and shakes.
Laura's other area of interest is home projectors. At http://homeprojectors.org, she tells you just about everything you'll need to know.
From High Above!! Rockefeller Center's, Rainbow Room and Marriott Marquis, The View
There are two places that offer fantastic views.
Let me first stop to say that I dearly miss one of the best dining views in all New York City. That was the one from Windows on the World in the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.
Rolph's Bar and Restaurant
Rolph's is a German Restaurant that you may or may not want to dine in. The food is good but a bit pricey for what you get. I do give some description of Rolph's Restaurant and Bar in a review posted a couple of years ago but let me tell ya in just a couple of words, "There is NO PLACE decorated like this one.!"
The restaurant has a retro 50s atmosphere with Elvis and hot rods, mixed with good burgers and New York egg creams. You don't have to be a New Yorker to try one.
The best part of the place is when one or two members of the waitstaff stop serving, hop onto a table, and take a couple of minutes to sing out a tune or two. It really adds to a fun, easy goin' Broadway theater atmosphere.
Jekyll and Hyde
This multi-level horror themed restaurant is great with kids 8-16. It has good food and a waitstaff right out of a B movie horror flick. The props and robotic/animated shows are a hoot and the waitstaff stay in role throughout your lunch/dinner.
Kids love this place. It's great for a family fun afternoon. Take your time eating and get your monies worth of the show. Be sure to interact with the staff. They too can be a hoot. Jekyll and Hyde is located near Central Park so it's doable from many Manhattan points.
Rink Bar and/or the Rock Center Cafe
The Rink Bar is perfect during the summer and fall while dining at the Rock Center Cafe is best enjoyed during the Christmas Season when the giant Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is lighted and skaters take to the ice.

Where is an interesting weekend getaway in the New England States?

Looking for an active weekend, interesting restaurants, shopping and sights.
Answer
Depends on where you are located and how much driving you want to do. Iâm in Connecticut so first:
1. Litchfield County: Lots of antiques, great (and/or cheap) restaurants and hotels, beautiful scenery. Fishing, hiking, boating (lake or river), lots of odd little museums. The Connecticut Wine Trail has several vineyards with tastings and you can buy wine on Sunday. Do not miss Hopkins Inn & Vineyard on the hill overlooking Lake Waramaug in New Preston. Go to Falls Village and ask âem where the falls are.
2. New London County: Mystic Seaport and Aquarium. Downtown Mystic for general strolling and junk store browsing, boat trips, the worldâs neatest bascule drawbridge and two, count âem two ice cream shops. Lobsters & Steamers at Abbottâs just down the road in Noank on the river. And when youâre tired of that you can run up the Thames and blow the kidâs college fund at the Casinos.
Massachusetts:
1. Cape Cod: There are lots of neat things to do on the Cape but I prefer the "ebow up" part. The National Seashore is one long endless fantastic beach from Eastham to Provincetown. Chatham (restaurants), Orleans (fish market, restaurants), Eastham (National Seashore Visitor Center), Wellfleet (seafood at Moby Dickâs), Truro (ainât nuthinâ there and itâs all beautiful), Provincetown: Key West for Yankees, great people watching town, lots of odd little shops and galleries, great restaurants, incredible beaches, funky bars. Climb the Pilgrim Monument tower for the best view on the Cape. Sit in the window seat at Governor Bradfordâs, sip a Black & Tan and watch the parade.
2. Boston. If you canât find something fun to do in Boston on the weekend, itâs time to pull the plug on yer heart monitor and pack it in for good. Walk Boylston Street and pick a restaurant at random. Blow your life savings at Quincy Market, pillage the food court and recover at the Green Dragon Pub around the corner.
3. Cape Anne: Gloucester & Rockport are good walking towns. You canât walk 10 feet without tripping over a great seafood restaurant. Lots of little galleries and shops. Rockport is dry, bring yer own beer. Gloucester is a working fishing port. Take the Duck Tour (so you look like a dope, youâre never gonna see any of those people again anyway).
Maine:
1. South Shore, Ogunquit area. Restaurants, bars, shops & galleries, live theater, great beaches. Seafood at Barnacle Billyâs (there are two, upscale and lobster shack, both are great) in Perkins Cove. (Take the trolley, there ainât no parking). The Marginal Way is a beautiful waterfront walking path.
2. Portland: Honest. They have done a terrific job of converting a formerly dingy seaport and factory town into a real gem. Itâs a walking town and there are a zillion shops, galleries, great restaurants and brew pubs (donât miss Bull Feeneyâs Pub and make sure to ask âem who Bull was when he wasnât at home). Ride the CAT Ferry to Nova Scotia.
3. Freeport: L.L. Bean and a couple of dozen outlet stores. Take the time to walk around. Youâll trip over some real deals. Be sure to hit Beanâs Outlet store for great stuff and very reasonable prices. Drive down some of those rocky peninsulas that stick out into the ocean. Youâll mostly find a great seafood place at the end of each one that nobody knows about but the locals.
4. Camden/Rockport: Camden is the tourist area with shops, restaurants and schooner cruises. Rockport is the artsy area with galleries and a beautiful harbor.
5. Mount Desert Island: Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Be sure to make the sunrise from the top of Cadillac Mountain (relax, you can drive). Drive the circular road through the park or hit the hiking trails. The scenery is incredible. Drive the back roads and look for the lobster shacks where the locals go. Bar Harbor is a min-Key West with great bars and restaurants, shops and galleries. You can catch the CAT Ferry here too. Do not miss the Atlantic Brewing Company up the road from Bar Harbor. Real brewpub beer (the Cole Porter is to die for) AND a smokehouse with outside eating area. You can get great ribs, pork, chicken, sausage etc., right out of the smoker (order the sampler platter) and their own beer on tap. Itâs a gluttonâs Jackpot!.
Foliage season is almost here...get on the road. :)
