Eating in NYC - Quick question

Hi

I%26#39;m going to NYC in January (I know some time away yet!) and have been browsing the forum recently looking for ideas.

With regards to eating out in NYC, I%26#39;ve noticed that many people book tables at restaurants prior to going. Is this necessary? And if it is, can anyone give me some inspiration/advice on where to look at eating meals? I%26#39;m going with my mum who tends to eat very little %26amp; mainly light food whilst I%26#39;ll eat anything! I don%26#39;t particularly want anywhere fancy, just good food %26amp; good atmosphere, where we can wear casual dress. I have booked a table for lunch at Gordon Ramsey%26#39;s Maze restaurant, but only because I heard that reservations need to be made well in advance.

Thanks in advance for any help!
