Restaurant Week 2006

It’s a lovely time of year, Restaurant Week 2006 in NYC, when you can check out some nice restaurants without breaking the bank.

Hoboken has been pretty smart to have their own during the same period, Hudson Restaurant Week, and I have checked out most of the nice places in ‘Boken.

So today I had lunch in Tribeca at 66, a Jean-Georges creation. It seems you can’t throw a rock without hitting one of his eateries (ok, a slight exaggeration and I am not encouraging vandal behavior). So this makes my third of his line, after Jean-George and Jo Jo.

The food is asian themed and the decor is very clean and fairly open, with frosted glass separating a few rooms. The beef with eggplant was tasty, but the shrimp with noodles was bland. The Thai Tea ice cream was nicely presented and tasted just like the real thing. Overall I was not impressed, the bottom of my list for J-G.
