We went to The London in NYC last March (also for my husband's birthday), it was an amazing experience, and I highly recommend it. It may be 'posh' but the atmosphere is so laid back and welcoming, not at all stuffy. We had the tasting menu, and they swapped one of the courses for my husband as he doesn't like fish. The grand opening of a bottle of red wine is worth seeing on it's own, lol.
The following night we had a great meal at a chinese restaurant on Lexington for 10% of the cost
I see Top of the Rock is on your list - another definite recommendation from me. We were so lucky with the views as it was a clear day, and it's great to include the ESB in the photos! We did actually go up the ESB at night too, but found it pretty grotty & disorganised.
Yeah it's my last day in work today and then we fly to NYC on Monday morning woo hooo .....

Top of The Rock
