NYC Winter Restaurant Week

Oh boy, here we go again. Restaurant Week(s) is coming up. Originally, restaurant week was only one week a year, designed to get people to try out restaurants that they normally would not have. The lure was that you get to experience the restaurant, at a fraction of the cost of a normal meal. The catch? Limited menu. Coming from a person that is going to a place tonight and ordering the 7 course tasting menu with wine pairing, that doesn't seem too spectacular of a deal. Why can't they serve the regular menu? The menu choices never do the restaurant justice. I just think if you are trying to get the word out for your restaurant and/or trying to get people to come back, you should do everyone a recession favor and serve a regular menu at 1/2 price. I am sure the restaurant will still make money. Maybe I am wrong....

Anyway, I am all for trying new restaurants. Therefore, if there is something you really want to try and you snag a rezzie, go for it. Let me know if it is great!
