Asia de Cuba
237 Madison Ave
New York, NY

Asia de Cuba is the place to see and be seen... but that was more true 7 years ago than it is now. Located in the Morgan Hotel (an Ian Schrager establishment), the ambience can be described as posh or swanky, attracting more of the Sex and the City/Entourage crowd than the casual joe.
The Asian fusion offerings aren't bad; in fact they are all pretty good, if you haven't had much experience with Asian fusion cuisine. But be aware... food ain't cheap, and you can find better quality at other Asian fusion restaurants for the same price or less...*cough*Koi*cough.
If you must go, reserve the long dining room table situated in the middle of the main floor and bring a bunch of friends... whet your appetite with the Braised Beef Spring Roll or Lobster Shiitake potsickers to start. Then follow-up with Coconut Mustard Seed Sustainable Chilean Seabass or Whole Roasted Rack Of Lamb(be prepared to share this one!).
And finally, make sure to charge the entire bill on one credit card and make your friends ante up later, because flipping out the yuppie-coupons while you're in plain sight of everyone in the place is... faux pas.
