Below is a quick list of some of the most popular places to enjoy lunch and dinner.
Altesi Ristorante in the Upper East Side serves up classic Tuscan dishes packed with flavor. The Restaurant Week menu includes items like a pan seared lemon sole for the fish lovers out there and hearty Bolognese style veal ragu for a more toothsome mouthful.
Iron Chef Marc Forgione prepares tender cuts of beef with a modern twist at American Cut Midtown. His regular OG 1924 Caesar Salad and Jim Brady Oysters both hit the table as part of the prix-fixe menu, and you have a choice of beef, chicken or fish for the main course.
Just 1.5 miles from Carlton Tower Apartments, Ammos Estiatorio plates lots of seafood, all with Greek flavors.
