For Italian, I like Il Mulino in the village , also their new spot in Tribeca looks nice. Depends on what neighborhood you want to be in.   For American , my favorite is Union Square cafe.  French- Buvette or Lucien.   But there are some many options in NYC it's crazy.   If you don't want to go to NYC, over the bridge in Piermont has a few nice spots too. Enjoy!
