So while we've already covered the best recession-friendly brunch in New York in terms of freeflowing booze, what about the flip-side: satisfying food that just keeps on coming? Finally, we have an answer, and it's as delicious and high-falutin' as it is surprisingly wallet-conscious.
Deep down in the West Village and on the western border of Manhattan, which is to say the Hudson River, sits star chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Perry St restaurant, somewhat small and removed if you consider his other big tables like Mercer Kitchen and Spice Market. In any case, the recession strikes again with extended prix fixe menu options across the board at his restaurant, meaning that for once, we were impervious to Perry St's pricing. ]]>
