We want to stay under $200 per person. Thanks in advance!
If you guys enjoy Bobby Flay, I can recommend Bar Americain for your anniversary dinner. I used to work there and can vouch for quality.

Get a burger and frozen custard at shake shack in madison square park.
Eat at Bareburger because I think it's the best damn burger in the city.
Near the shake shack in madison square park is a place called Eataly. It's a large italian market place with several restaurants. Fun place to walk around, get gelato, espresso, tiramisu, fresh pasta and bread, imported italian foodstuffs and shit like that.

Definitely go to the Comedy Cellar or try and find out where jesse joyce, pat dixon, etc are performing.

Try to get tickets to The Book of Mormon.
