Taking advantage of the NYC strike - Eating at restaurants
ok, i usual lurk the strategy areas and rarely post in OOT, but this idea was a v good one from one of the guys i work with.
go eat at nice restaurants across the city that usually have a very long reservation list. Tonight, I'm going to babbo w/a friend of mine. . . tomorrow is either Per Se, Cafe Boulud, or maybe something lighter. anybody else got good recommendations? |

My friends cancelled their Luger's reservations last night that they booked 2 months in advance... I'm sure most restaurants have openings now...

you can try Nobu

Nobu's is a good idea, but i've eaten there enough times to not want to go back if I'm paying.

DB Bistro is good, you can get the worlds best hamburger for 40 bucks

Re: Taking advantage of the NYC strike - Eating at restaurants
if you are willing to go to Per Se, then obviously $$ is no option. Nobu is a good suggestion. Also, how about:
1) Il Mulino (although after Babbo, maybe enough Italian) 2) Sparks - i like it as much as Lugar's, and no trip to BK. 3) Masa (but that and per se in the same week might be a bit much)) |

Jean Georges (serving French cuisine)
Alain Ducasse (French) Le Bernardin (French) these are the only 3 star Michelen Guide reasturants in NYC , try there maybe? Edit removed Per Se you already had it on your list |

Re: Taking advantage of the NYC strike - Eating at restaurants
quick trip report. . .Babbo's was packed as usual and one of my coworkers tried to get a res there. . .too bad, first available seating for 2 was at 11:15. I guess i got lucky.
For me: Lamb's Tongue viniagrette, beef cheek ravioli, and lamb chops. For her: five autumn vegetable salad, spaghettini w/lobster, and braised beef. Villa S. Anna montepulciano. and assorted gelatos and sorbets w/my favorite being the sour apple and ricotta. Americano for me, mint green tea for her. delicious as usual. mesa grill sounds good but i feel like seafood tonight so maybe bluewater or chinatown. |
