My favorite week of the year is here. You have to understand, I’m the kind of person who would rather run over sharp glass than buy a $100+ pair of jeans, but I’ve put down several times that for dinner. Too many times. However, in the spirit of frugality that has whipped across Manhattan, I try to pull back. (I also have a secret love for Grey’s Papaya and low brow food but I live in the UES where cheap good food is limited). So restaurant week, here I come!
As soon as the announcement went out, I whipped open my laptop and was scouring the pages of Open Table like they were baseball stats. The pickings are not as good as last year, I have to say. Nobu is no where to be seen. Many great spots are only offering lunch. Hey, I thought restauranteurs were suffering too!
I’ve decided to be a good person and stick with Donatella and Burke (for the food) and Centovini (not for the food, just for a good place to munch before running amok). Limit. my. excessive. appetite.
There’s still some pickins to be had so check it out: NYC Restaurant Week
