Looks like we’re passing on Blanca. The price for the tasting menu is one thing, but tacking on the alcohol pairings, tax and gratuity brings it up to around $350 per person.
Too steep to really enjoy.
I am now looking for more tasting menu options.

reid, enjoy all the hipster grub but don't sleep on the cuban shops, bagel joints, and other sub-$15 meals that NYC is so great at delivering on
Oh, definitely. We'll be there seven days, with reservations for only two of those meals. I plan on the sub $15 gems making up the majority of our experience.

Just perusing google maps and randomly found a Brooklyn bar named after a Jerry Jeff lyric. Then another Texas-themed bar. Then a taqueria. Then a German themed bar that would make sense in Shiner or New Braunfels. All within four blocks. Is this...the little Texas district?

I'm worried you are planning too much in the food department. Any other city, it would be fine. But this is NYC. Wander and take it in, enjoy whatever strikes you when you pass by it. If you plan too many places, you'll miss out on any of the hundreds you are likely to pass just walking around

We will be there a full week. I have a total of two reservations, one of which I've put a fair amount of planning towards as it's our one-year anniversary dinner. I also have tickets to a show very far from our airbnb, so I want to be sure that I know the area near that theater well enough to explore but still make the show.
I get what you're saying, but it's not like I'm building an hourly calendar. The way we travel is this: Plan for "anchor" spots in neighborhoods that look interesting, then either go to those spots or don't. More often than not we don't, but end up having a big adventure because we feel secure enough in the area that we are in to be able to get lost then get back home.
Consider the outcome of getting legit lost in a bad or lame neighborhood in NYC because I didn't plan anything and it's our anniversary trip.
