Could anyone give me some really great (but not overpriced) restaurants in NYC? Also, something that's not one of the big Times Square tourist restaurants like Planet Hollywood or Jekyll and Hyde?

I always recommend Trattoria Trecolori, on West 47th. Great food, very reasonable prices, right in the heart of the theater district.

The Meatball Shop
several locations
http://themeatballshop.com/locations/

Started in one location and grew to five now! Happy for these two young guys.

No reservations.
If more than 2 you might be seated at the group table in the center.

Recommend the sliders so you can mix/match the meats/sauces.
Love the risotto and market salad of the day.
Always save room for the mint ice cream with the fresh mint leaves in the ice cream.

Up next: Apr 01 Hedwig and the Angry Inch; Apr 05 Charo at RamsHead OnStage; Apr 07 Lady Gaga at Roseland Ballroom; Apr 13 Amaluna next to Citi Field; Apr 18 Disney Junior at MSG Theatre; May 06 Aladdin; May 13 Artpop Ball Lady Gaga at MSG; Jun 07 Varekai in Bridgeport, CT Jul 12 1:30pm Side Show; Jul 12 8:30pm Fantasia w/National Symphony Orchestra; Aug 16 The Visit: Williamstown Festival

Jing: Chinese and Japanese and fusion; 9th Avenue between 47th and 48th.

Becco, Italian on restaurant row; 3 different pastas daily on a prix fixe; reservations reccommended

Churiscurio Plataforma (spelling) on 49th just west of 8th; Argentinian steakhouse; meat and salad, then salad and more meat and then finish off with more meat. Don't eat during the day and don't make plans afterwards (because you may not be able to walk); This is a bit pricey but the experience is worth it and if you like meat, especially beef, you're home free. Not for vegetarians or even semi-vegetarians.

Thanks for the input everyone! They all sound great! I should probably also note that I'll be dining post show in the evening, so maybe around 10:30 at night.
