Summer 2013 Restaurant Week!

In tradition of life and love for food I always take advantage of two or three restaurant week events. 

With Summer Restaurant Week here as of July 22 - August 16. 

On my list of places to try this summer:

The Capital Grille - my dear friend keeps raving about their Lobster Mac, who am I to deny my taste buds said an experience??!!

Delmonico's Steakhouse - Well if you didn't know I am from the MidWest, so they had me at steak!

Fishtail by David Burke - his menu reads "Ritz Cracker Crusted Crabcake" Umm, Hello!! That is paging me!

And unfortunately, I have lived in Harlem for eight years and have yet to sit down and enjoy the fine plates of Marcus Samuelsson Red Rooster Restaurant, so as a bonus/option...shame shame, I know.  For compensation I have had enjoyed a cocktail or three from the bar.

This past winter I made my way to Mr. Chow Tribeca and  STK Midtown (pictured below)
