The writers' strike that's crippled Hollywood for the past three months has ended. The scribes are heading back to work, and some will be busy working on the Academy Awards airing this Sunday, February 24th.
Now that the Oscars are back from the brink, the annual question of where to watch them returns. One option is the Oscar party at Time Warner Center's Landmarc. Marc Murphy's classy bistro is putting two flat screen TVs in its private dinning room and offering a four-course tasting menu (plus dessert) designed to last the length of the show. In the works are classics like steak-tartare crostini, potato-leek soup with caviar whipped cream and beef wellington with perigourdine sauce and asparagus. One bottle of champagne per twosome is also part of the deal (7:45 PM; $80 per person; 212-823-6123).
