What are some good, mid-priced restaurants in NYC?

In Brooklyn, Areo is pretty good. Plus, there are many cocktail lounges on the same street so it makes it fun! Follow my links, and have a great time!! (just stay away from some of the "tourist traps" as mentioned by prior posts!)

***Aero does not have a website, so the link is for the address and phone number)
