Are there any quiet places to eat anymore?

I live in Manhattan. I am tired of everywhere I go they have the music Blasting. It seems every restaurant from fast food to family dining wants to be a nightclub.

I go to the nightclub when I want loud music and a nightclub atmosphere not restaurants.

I want to find some place that is quiet, where I can hear myself think, and even take care of business (concentrate on paperwork, meat with a couple of people to discuss things). Fast food or sit down restaurants are fine.

Are there any quiet places to eat anymore?

I guess everywhere in town is trying to appeal to the college crowd!

Here are a couple random ideas...although I haven%26#39;t been back in a while, so not sure if they have turned into load places:

-4 Olive Wine Bar

-Chinese Chef

-Harry%26#39;s

-4th Street Cafe

-Bluestem Bistro

-Grizzley%26#39;s ... if it%26#39;s still open

-Panera

Enjoy Manhattan!
