Restaurant Week Suggestions

Eat three-course prix-fixe meals at some of New York City's best restaurants without breaking the bank during Restaurant Week Winter 2008. During the weeks of January 21 to 25 and January 28 to February 1, participating restaurants will serve lunches for $24.07 and dinners for $35.

Although the dates are still weeks away, we thought it would be worthwhile to give you our picks now so that you could make the necessary reservations immediately. If you can, call first to find out what they're serving for restaurant week. Some restaurants try to cheap out. Happy Hunting.

  • A Voce: Lunch, a great opportunity to sample Andrew Carmellini's gutsy, Italian-influenced food
  • Anthos: Lunch and dinner, for the lamb burger alone, this is a great choice
  • Chinatown Brasserie: lunch and dinner, hope the attitude doesn't come with the bargain
  • Bolo: Lunch and dinner, because it is underrated and about to close
  • Craft: Lunch, see what Colicchio is up to now that Craft is back serving lunch
  • Del Posto: Lunch, this is a quiet oasis for lunch and will probably still be during restaurant week
  • L'Impero: Lunch, see what chef Michael White has done for the kitchen
  • Morimoto: Lunch, hope they are serving more than noodles and rice
  • Prime House New York and Porter House New York: Lunch, I only hope they serve more than chopped steak
  • Tabla: Lunch, Floyd Cardoz is at the top of his game
  • Telepan: Lunch, his burger, fries, and onion rings are all stellar

[shill] Mai House in Tribeca (212-431-0606) - Dinner, the best Vietnamese in town [/shill]

Cathy is right. As I've said many times before Mai House is well worth a visit, during Restaurant Week or anytime. New York is not a strong town for Vietnamese restaurants, and Mai House is in many ways the best Vietnamese restaurant in NYC.

I tried to make a reservation for dinner at Anthos for restaurant week(s), but the open table notation said that the dinner reservation was not part of restaurant week. Do you have any other suggestions for dinner at a restaurant participating in restaurant week? The restaurants that you mention all have lunch which is not practical for anyone who has a nine to five job Monday through Friday, unfortunately. It's too bad they don't do weekend lunches.
