Pre-Fixe Filet Mignon Steak at Porter House New York

PETITE FILET MIGNON W/ TRUFFLE MASHED POTATOES AND SHALLOT-RED WINE SAUCE (pre-fix menu)

RIGATONI BOLOGNESE ($14 sm./$25 lg)

Absolutely FANTASTIC pre-fixe menu available for $48! The portions are very generous, and do not skimp like most 5-star restaurants (as I tried to highlight in the photos). In addition to an appetizer, entrée, and dessert choice, there is fresh bread served with delicious butter. [I often go back to restaurants with great bread as a starter. As a side note, the pasta is not included in the pre-fixe, but just as delicious as everything else!].

Also, the view inside and out is beautiful, a great restaurant to relax in / go on a date / go with a group.

NEW YORK CHEESECAKE AND FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE (pre-fix)

Note: if you try to look for the pre-fixe menu at Porter House New York's website, it's only viewable online in the Lunch Menu (labeled as "Park View Lunch" which is priced at $24). But the same menu is available for dinner, just not advertised online.

PRICE: $15-$50

Brunch at Sarabeth's

Absolutely amazing brunch restaurant! One of my favorites in New York City (serving Sat-Sun 8am-4pm). This was one of their $19 brunch specials that has a bit of everything, including fluffy/perfect pancakes, thick scrambled eggs (cooked with a little bit of cream), a couple strips of bacon, a sausage link, and potatoes! Naturally, there are far more options, but I would highly recommend going! Try to go early if you have more in your party, as there could be a longer wait. If you have 2-3 in your group, it should be easier to seat even if there is a line :D
