If you’re heading down to the Tribeca Film Festival to catch a flick between now and Sunday, May 3rd, chances are you’ll also be looking for a place to grab a bite to eat and a couple of drinks. Why not take a break from the festivities and check out Terrance Brennan’s new recession-friendly “barstro” in the former Trigo space, Bar Artisanal (268 W. Broadway at 6th Ave.). They have a cheese and charcuterie bar, wood-fired, french-style pizzas called “Pissaladieres”, an array of cocktails and affordable wines, and dishes priced at $20 and under, including a Menu du Burgers. With a big group? No problem. Pull up at the communal table at the bar, try a couple of the pizzas and grab some drinks. We also just came across this Special Dining Guide for the TFF that includes some special offers for those who use their American Express card at participating restaurants between now and May 3rd. This TFF dining guide includes close to 50 restaurants that are offering either a special prix-fixe menu, a special complimentary cocktail, a $25 gift card, a glass of champagne, or a complimentary menu item. Check out the list of restaurants here and see who’s offering what. Some of the better offers include a complimentary glass of champagne at Veritas with purchase of an entree, a $25 gift card at The Red Cat, a free glass of “Leninade” at Pravda, a complimentary appetizer at Eleven Madison Park and a complimentary specialty cocktail at Craftsteak. AMEX is also giving away complimentary movie tickets on Saturday, May 2nd to those who use their AMEX card that day at some participating shops and restaurants. For every $40 you can show you spent on a receipt, you get one free movie ticket. Check out here for more details (scroll to the end).
