NYC Restaurant Week

2008-07-23T12:23:00.000-07:00

This delightful gift offered by New York is from July 21-25 and July 28- Aug 1, 2008 (Monday through Friday only)

Pricing: $24.07 lunches, $35.00 dinners; prices are per person and do not include beverage, tax or gratuity. Twice a year (January and June/July) this unique opportunity to experience some of New York City's premium and best restaurants for a fraction of the normal cost is available for only a few days.

When you guys go to the restaurant ask for the official NYC Restaurant Week menu when you are seated. During NYC Restaurant Week Summer 2008, when you use any American Express® Card to pay for your meal at participating restaurants, American Express will donate $0.50 per transaction to City Harvest, up to $25,000.

***Reminder: Not all restaurants on infospotny.com are taken part in the NYC Restaurant Week, and not all participating restaurants offer the NYC Restaurant Week menu at both meals. Please refer to the list below for participating restaurants and their specific meal offerings.

So take advantage of this opportunity which comes twice the whole year. Also let us know how the experience was: whether the restaurants gave you the same quality and service as if you were paying full price or if they cheated you in any way. Post your opinion and comment… Bon Appetite

Thai Restaurant

Phone: (212) 243-3339

Cross Street:

Little West 12th Street

Hours:

Sun-Thu 11am-12:30am, Fri-Sat 11:30am-2:30am

Conveniently located right off the west side highway and in the center of the meat packing district, it doesn’t get any better than that. The place has a cool hip/ modern/ oriental feeling to it. They also have a lounge, Pool Lounge, on the bottom floor so after you are done eating you can walk down a couple steps and lounge away….. This happens to be very convenient because the restaurant and lounge are in the same building so you don’t have to wait on line to get in. If you would walk from the ground floor up you will begin to see how on each floor there is a different theme (air, land, sea).

But if you would like to go to another lounge or club, this restaurant is ideal because it is located in the heart of where many lounges, bars and clubs are located (which are all around a 2 block radius). Even if you would like to walk around it’s a beautiful place to do so as well as safe, in the sense that there are police officers on every corner.

The food is ok. A lot of the dishes have a spicy taste to it so keep the water right next to you. Must get the fish and the meat is sometimes dry.

Choice number 2 on my list for “Hott” Kosher spots…

They are a bit “Dynamic” with their menu ranging from Asian food to some good Kosher American Chili.

Their food is really good and I would for sure be there once a week if it wasn’t on the pricier side ($30- 40 per person).

For dates and nights out… it’s a great spot to go.

What I love most is its location, like Clubhouse Café, its right near “times square” for an endless night of fun.

Play your cards right… you might have another night on the “memory board.”

Well for the more religious people at least you might get to hold hands, but please wear protection… Gloves I mean…

ENTREES: Cedar Plank Salmon, Argentine Smoked Rib Eye Steak, Rib Steak Teriyaki…and a whole menu more…

All kidding aside Enjoy and let us know your feed back!!

Clubhouse Cafe

2008-06-27T12:31:00.000-07:00

Clubhouse Cafe

155 W. 46th St.

Between 6th and 7th Ave.

Phone: (212) 354-3838

Hours: Sunday- Thursday 11a.m – 10 p.m.

I love this place!!! It’s great for a friend’s night out, or celebrating someone’s birthday, and especially for dates (I found out about this place for a date… it was a “great” find).

It has a bar/lounge/fine restaurant feel to it. The tables are set up with couches on one side and chairs on the other (Some just have chairs).

It’s so comfortable with the candle light and the dim light.

It’s a complete meat menu. Its bit on the pricier side, I spent $120 covering the people, but not ridiculous and should not be a major concern for you.

The food tasted great. Both my dates loved their meal. The portions are just right. Depending on what you order it can be either light or heavy. For example- Duck Empanadas V.S the sandwiches, the Empanadas were so tasty but there were like 6 small ones. Definitely something you should order but just for yourself.

In all I think it’s a great place for a night on the town, a celebration, a date… It’s a nice restaurant with a great feel of relaxation to it. Definitely one of my top choices of Kosher Restaurants!
