Good NYC Entertainment Book restaurants??

Do you have a recommendation of good NYC restaurants that take the Entertainment card?

I know that there are plenty of great restaurants to try, but if there's a good one that we can also save some $$ then that'd be great.

We're staying in the Time Square area.

TIA.

This isn't always true but the majority of the time if a restaurant is offering a coupon, it isn't that great.

You may be better off going downtown and eating ethnic than paying the same money for mediocre meals.

I have an Entertainment book, but I haven't used it for the "fine dining" section of restaurants only the "casual" ones.

You might also want to look at restaurant.com for some savings

mclaurie,

Those are some great (IMHO) restaurants for a $20.12 (lunch) or $35 (dinner) prix-fixe: Vong, One if By Land Two If By Sea, Rain, Aquavit. I only wish that I was able to visit the city during the week when those Restaurant Week menus are available.

walkalot,

Another suggestion for discounts is www.rewardsnetwork.com (used to be called iDine and also Dining a la Card). If you sign up for their program, you can either get monetary discounts (if you pay the $40 per year fee) or frequent flyer miles (if you use the free membership option). The best part is that you don't need any coupons. You register a credit card, and the card is credited for 10% or 20% of your final bill, including tax, tip, and beverages. Better yet, even though it says you can't combine discounts, I have received the credit even when I used it in combination with an Entertainment Card or other coupon. I also just learned that you can now print lots of Entertainment coupons right from the website if you already own another book (such as the one for your hometown). I haven't checked into this thoroughly, but it's worth a try.

Many NYC restaurants have extended Restaurant Week ($20 lunch/$35 dinner) right through the summer. I had $20 prix fixe lunch at Nino's on 58th St./near 6th Ave. a couple of weeks ago and it was just wonderful.

NYC is one city that you don't want use coupons in. Guaranteed restaurants that offer a coupon options are part of a chain that operates out of the Midwest. We don't have incredible landscape here, we don't have wide-open spaces. WE DO HAVE GOOD FOOD, don't miss it!
