The city’s exodus to the beaches is a boon for diners who remain in the city.  Lasting almost a month from July 22 through August 16, the 21st year of New York City’s restaurant week is ready for booking.  This is the time to score a prized table of some of the city’s most desirable restaurants.  The 300 participating restaurants feature $25 three-course prix fixe lunches $38 prix fixe dinners. Most time slots are during the week for lunch and dinner, with a few left for Sunday lunch and  dinner.  This year, there are restaurants from Queens and Brooklyn making an appearance. We say, bravo! Here’s to eating with panache and change in your pocket. The full list of restaurants including menus is available online.  Call now so you don’t lose out.

Valentine’s Day Dining Choices – Manhattan

Manhattan is teeming with great Valentine’s Day dining options.  My suggestion?  Grab a reservation, pick up some flowers, and consider a great card and small gift as well.  A perfect evening that’s priceless, although not without a price.

For the 14th of February, take a look at 14 of these delicious and varied choices:

Sfoglia — A restaurant that’s a tough reservation to score even on non-holiday evenings, Sfoglia sits across from the 92nd Street Y and offers a “cupid’s arrow” four-course prix fixe celebration for $95.  I love this restaurant on a cold night.  It’s cozy with its white curtains, homey with its convivial vibe, and always pleasing with wonderful cooking from Chef John Carr.  On Valentine’s Day evening they’re only serving couples, no matter whether you’re sitting at a two-top or at the communal table, so you might actually have a better chance at scoring a table.  Both restaurant favorites and specials are on the menu with the likes of Maine uni with brown bread and house-made butter, buckwheat crespelle with celery root cream and caviar, and spaghetti and ruby red shrimp with Meyer lemon.
