Lil' Frankie's super power is that it's a good decision no matter what the debate for dinner entails. Whether you’re hoping for an intimate celebration for two or a rowdy party for eight, Frankie's has you covered. Located in Lower Manhattan, this brick-walled, old-school Italian restaurant turns out some of the tastiest Neapolitan pizzas and plates of pasta (great for sharing!).

While Llama Inn might not be within the budget of every New Yorker ($100 per person bills aren’t unusual here), it is a truly special place for a night out. Peruvian plates to nibble on include quinoa with banana, avocado, bacon, and cashew, a whole bronzino patarashca, and banana and queso helado ice cream cake to end on a sweet note.
Juku NYC (Chinatown)

Warning: Reservations-only restaurant ahead! This omakase sushi bar is not for the faint of heart (or empty in the wallet), but for a more private, celebratory dinner, you'll feel like royalty. Located in Five Points, Juku is a multilevel, tri-dining experience sure to be a memorable occasion.
Boucherie (West Village)

Two-floor Boucherie in the West Village encapsulates the French joie de vivre quality with its savory dishes and light atmosphere. For the meat-eaters especially, this brasserie and steakhouse consistently serves only the best-grade steak cooked to perfection. Pretend you're in Paris for the evening, and cheers to the birthday person with an espresso martini or spritz in hand!
