Next month is Restaurant Week in New York and I've been busy trying to make as many reservations as possible. This morning I had to wake up at 9am and battle a busy tone for a while to get through to Gramercy Tavern (rated one of the best restaurants in the world). They take reservations 28 days in advance, and fill up within minutes, and not only during restaurant week.

So far my list is:

davidburke & donatella
Delmonico's
English Is Italian
Gotham Bar and Grill
Gramercy Tavern
Il Cantinori
Payard Patisserie & Bistro
Roy's - New York
SUSHISAMBA 7
Tocqueville
Vong

Update: Added Butter, and Cafe Boulud
