My favorite restaurant week lunch spots

As I work in Manhattan, I make it a habit to hit at least one per restaurant week. My most memorable Restaurant Week meals have been at (in no particular order):

The Nougatine Room at Jean Georges
db Bistro Moderne
Quality Meats
Gotham Bar and Grill (although they always have a good prix fixe lunch)
Estiatorio Milos

I just made a reservation for craftbar for this year.

Other restaurants that I've wanted to try on the Restaurant Week list include Nobu (although the menu doesn't excite me), Esca, Spice Market, and Telepan. The Modern is also doing dinner in the Bar room, but that's a great restaurant. Adour is a gorgeous place, a little stuffy, great food, great service.

Here is what I ended up with....

Bobby Van's Grill - 50th Street (for family dinner - DD loves the one in Bridgehampton)
The Oak Room at the Plaza Hotel (DD has never been to the Plaza)
Telepan (Glitters suggestion - great reviews!)
Ocean Grill New York (DD & DSIL2Bs fav)

Telepan is a good choice, and very welcome in the somewhat restaurant-desolate Lincoln Center area.

Another idea while you're at TMC if you're into charcuterie/salumi/cheese, we just ate there tonight - no Restaurant Week special, but not expensive for Manhattan - Salumeria Rosi at 73rd and Amsterdam Welcome to Salumeria Rosi Parmacotto A local treat, they do a deli/takeout counter but have a nice wine selection and cozy dining atmosphere. Be sure to ask what's not on the menu. If you're not into pork, skip this, for sure. Reservations almost always needed (we got lucky tonight due to the snow).

They also deliver to our area!
Althought it says "starting July 1" I am hoping this was LAST July 1....thanks.

Another reco - this is really good for pre-theatre and also great for anyone coming in to Port Authority from NJ (it's on 44th and 9th). They always have a nice prix fixe, btw, and the place is large so ressies aren't too hard to get:

btw, we had a great meal at Bond St a few weeks ago - we're going back next week. We did a RueLaLa certificate, so it was a chef's tasting, really good. We accidentally bought two even though one cert. was good for two people, so next week is a bonus

We ended up canceling Bobby Vans - but went for lunch at Park Avenue Winter - 63/64th & Park Ave, it was wonderful - best meal of the week - along with Telepan - would definitely go back to both of these.

Did not care for the food and service at the Oak Room at the Plaza Hotel - space was wonderful but uninspired menu and slow, indifferent service. A definite

Ooh, Park Avenue Winter looks fab and it's not far from my in-laws... sorry about the Oak Room, though I'm not entirely surprised. I don't think you missed much at Bobby Vans, at least not if the Bridgehampton restaurant is any indication (though it was pretty awesome when Phoebe Legere used to play there - 80s flashback, sorry ).
