Restaurant Week at Gramercy Tavern

Taken place on July 17, 2009.

In case you all didn’t know, New York City’s Restaurant Week (or “weeks” should be the correct nomenclature) started last week (July 12th).

Matsugen – Restaurant Week but done a la carte

I made plans with Giulia several weeks ago to have lunch during Restaurant Week.

A Bittersweet Ending to Restaurant Week: Eleven Madison Park

Lunch at Eleven Madison Park was my last and final restaurant for Restaurant Week on Monday. (For those of you who are still curious when is it over, it’s officially this Friday, July 27, 2007; while some restaurants are extending ’til Labor Day.)

I had high hopes for [...]

Restaurant Week '07: Aquavit Café for Lunch

As those of you who are following my tracks on where I’m going for Restaurant Week, I went to Aquavit Café for lunch. Why? Just because of the fact that my dining companion for the day, Ariel was in the mood for Scandinavian rather than something from August.
