TASTEFUL TUESDAYS

"food is our common ground

a universal experience"

James Beard

Tasteful Tuesdays never sounded as good as it does during NYC Restaurant Week!! Not only will you get to enjoy delicious food but at a price you can afford. Enjoy an appetizer, Entree, and a dessert for a reasonable price. (not including beverages, sales tax or gratuity) Indulge in Italian, Chinese, Brazilian and more-which ever you choice, I’m sure you won’t leave unsatisfied. Unfortunately, not every restaurant is offering this deal so 1stClassLadies has put together our top choices to dine out at for this time period.

Name: BEN & JACKS STEAK HOUSE

Location: 210 East 44th St New York, NY

This steak spot is giving you an excellent deal for lunch in honor of restaurant week. Just think- you can have the soup of the day with a 12oz. Sirloin Steak, and a piece of cheese cake!! All entrees come with mash potatoes and steamed broccoli to complete the meal. Now with two locations (opened on 255 Fifth Avenue) this steakhouse is sure to give a restaurant experience like no other.

Name: MESA GRILL

Location: 102 5th Ave New York, NY

Arriving to New York in 1991, Mesa Grill is the spot to attend and you’re in luck as it is taking part in restaurant week. With a combination of southwest cooking along with the owner’s love of grilling, we are sure you will fall head over heels for Mesa Grill.

You can decide from three appetizers as well as three entrees and pick from chocolate layer cake or coconut bread pudding as a dessert. Nothing like having a little selection!!
