Sadly, we just heard from Eleven Madison Park that it does not plan to extend its famed Restaurant week lunch. It is still, however, the Hero of Restaurant Week in our mind. Consider the following: (i) its one of the few restaurants to include an amuse bouche with its RW menu, (ii) each Restaurant Week patron received a $28 gift card and (iii) we just read on this Serious Eats post that EMP offered the Restaurant Week menu for dinner to two diners who did not realize that it was lunch only!  Amazing. Who does that? Danny Meyer is a true mensch and other restaurants around the city should take a cue from his Union Square Hospitality Group, which always puts its customers first.  Bravo!
