She will be here over her birthday. She wants to go out for a nice dinner, one where we can dress up semi-fancy and enjoy a nice dinner. Preferebly, we don't want to spend too much (I would say 30 to 40 a person AT THE MOST, hopefully less). We're under 21 and don't have fake ID's, so either places that will serve us alcohol w/out it OR don't worry about alcohol. Any suggestions?

Pastis New York at the Meatpacking District.
Awesome food, awesome crowd, reasonable price and very very hip (but not too formal, jeans are okay).
Featured in Sex and the City.

No! No! No! Tavern on the Green is expensive and the food is not that great. Check it out for the views and split. My favourite low-key spot for a nice and not too expensive dinner is Little Giant on the corner of Orchard and Broome on the Lower East Side. They have a very inventive menu and everything is prepared with love and attention. At Inoteca you can get small plates and not spend a lot of money and watch the LES denizens try to outdo each other. Pastis is great for breakfast and brunch, but be prepared to spend some dough at dinner.
Chowhound should have some good recommendations for you.

If you like Indonesian food, I highly recommend "Bali Nusa Indah" on 9th Ave (between 45th and 46th). Unfortunately, they don't have a menu online, but I can tell you that I've gotten their rijsttafel--both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian versions--and it's great. (In case you don't know what rijsttafel is, it's rice served with small amounts of many different things. I don't remember what the vegetarian one had offhand, since I only had it twice, and the items change frequently, but I remember it having some kind of spicy greenbeans, eggplant with chili sauce, and something yummy with lemongrass and coconut milk, as well as probably about a half a dozen other things.) They also have a great dessert, a fried banana thingy that's delicious and unusual, and (despite the kind of ugly outside) it's really pretty and quiet inside with cool patterned linens and interesting statues and stuff. It's fairly cheap, too, I think about 25 bucks for the meat rijsttafel, and maybe 20-ish for the veggie. Even with dessert and tax and tip, it'll run you about $30 a person, probably less. Here's a good article about it, though it only covers the meat dishes, and I don't know when it's from: http://www.newyorkmetro.com/listings/restaurant/bali-nusa-indah/index.html

as well Luger's, you've were given Smith and Wollensky at 40 9th and third. huge steaks, and they do take charge playing cards. My husband and that i have lengthy gone to a remarkable little Italian eating position said as Murano's on thirty sixth highway between seventh and eighth Avenues. For some thing truly particular, you would possibly want to bypass to Lidia Bestianich's well-loved Felidia eating position on 58th between second and third. i have not in any respect been there, yet i understand human beings that've and say that's the perfect eating position they have ever been to, fingers down.

a good bet for what you require is to go down to the lower east side. it's great to just walk around down there anyway and the restaurants can be found that are less expensive.
