It’s that time again…pick a new restaurant you want to try and pay only $35!! It is Restaurant Week in New York City and it will be going on now through February 7 – lunch or dinner, Monday through Friday. How about doing something different and trying a sustainable restaurant? What does sustainable mean? Sus·tain·a·ble (sə-stā’nə-bəl) means an attempt to reduce an individual’s or society’s use of the Earth’s natural resource and his/her own resource. So during Restaurant Week you can feel good about choosing a restaurant that is good for the environment and the future of our earth and also keep some cash in your wallet. Feel good and enjoy a new experience! Here are some suggestions:
1. Rouge Tomate – 10 East 60thStreet – 646.237.8977
The Rouge Tomate lifestyle supports sustainable elements and business practices while offering an optimal balance of nutritional dishes and SPE®, compliant menus without sacrificing flavor, sophistication or a fun dining experience. Applying the principles of the nutritional charter SPE®, Rouge Tomate provides a harmonious alignment of balanced cuisine, well-being, and social and environmental consciousness. This nutritional approach demonstrates a genuine respect for the integrity of ingredients used in crafting balanced, healthful and flavorful dishes.
2. Fishtail by David Burke – 135 East 62nd Street – 212.754.1300
Fishtail offers the freshest fare provided by Litchfield Farms, Burke’s company-owned fishing boat out of Brielle, NJ as well as Hunts Point fish market. With the sustainable seafood movement gaining momentum as more people become aware of both overfishing and environmentally-destructive fishing methods, Burke has created a menu that reflects their goal to make Fishtail the first sustainable seafood restaurant. The menu reinforces their belief in providing diners with the highest quality ingredients that do not compromise on integrity.
