I cannot make any promises because that is around the same time that my wife is going away and I don't know if those two days will be free. But if I can reasonably be there, I will.

As for places to eat, what budget/area/type are you thinking of? It makes a huge difference if you are just looking at traditional pub or diner type food or if you are willing to look at different cuisines. (Thai, Afghan, Greek, NYC has it all.) It makes a huge difference whether we are talking $7/person, $10/person, or $20/person.
