restaurant week 2010

[csp84]

Any places in particular to look out for? I know they don't start taking reservations until tomorrow but I wanted to be prepared so I can get a good reservation! In the past I have gone to Dos Caminos (liked it but I go there normally so it wasn't really "special"), Rosa Mexicano (same), 21 club (liked but I almost felt bad/cheap for ordering off of RW menu), Spice Market (perfect mix of "place I wouldn't ordinarily go" and "not stuffy"), and Smith and Wollensky several times (great but want to try something new).

Thanks!

I just reserved spots at Convivio, Park Avenue Winter and Aquavit Dining Room. I've been to Convivio before, wonder what the RW menu will be.

they are taking reservations tonight. i reserved morimoto.

That is what NYC & Co want you to believe because tomorrow is when the OpenTable list goes online. But most of these restaurants have had their books open for weeks.

[G3B]

so that means if we knew that a restaurant was participating, we could have reserved weeks ago?

[kathryn]

Yes -- what I do is look at last season's list, make some reservations in advance, and cross my fingers that they're on this season's list. :) If not, I simply cancel the reservation as soon as I find out.

[janethepain]

Yep, you can do that or NYCGo always publishes the list a day early for some early birds (secret link, I guess?). Stole a peek at that and reserved through it.

thanks for the tip, will keep that in mind for the summer.
