Hey Dan and Kim — I would definitely recommend checking out Pera Mediterranean Brasserie nr G. Central for Restaurant Week. Just saw their menu and it’s full of choice, not to mention they are offering their signature lamb dish as a main course. Dan, you can’t go wrong with Blue Water Grill, or any of the BR Guest Restaurants, for that matter — Vento, Atlantic Grill, Dos Caminos, Primehouse, Blue Fin, etc.

Thanks Andy. I live in Cincinnati and have very little knowledge of the good spots. I booked The Harrison for Friday night. As of now, we are going to The Blue Water Grill on Thursday. How is that place? Any suggestions for a good, casual spot for Saturday night?

Hey Dan– I’ll have a post on the Top RW Dinner Spots soon, but here are some initial thoughts.

The Modern (Bar Room) — everyone in the restaurant orders from the RW menu so no dirty looks from your server and you can add on a course for a reasonable price.

Chinatown Brasserie — it’s really 4 courses instead of 3 and one of them is a dim sum tasting

Convivio — only offering RW for dinner on Sunday evenings. can’t go wrong here!

Anthos

The Harrison — first-time RW participant

The Oak Room at the Plaza — can’t vouch for the food, but would be great opportunity to check out the new Plaza for a reasonable price

Nobu Next Door — offering 2 courses plus a bento box = great deal!

Nougatine @ Jean-Georges

Megu

Mr. Chow Tribeca

more to come

thanks for the recommendations. It’s so frustrating that not all restaurants post their menus up. I’m leaning towards Asiate though…
