Fiamma
With the economy the way it is these days, even the more expensive spots are looking for ways to give diners a break. SoHo's extravagant Italian Fiamma, for instance, is enticing diners with that old-school Florida fallback, the early bird special. Mondays through Thursdays, chef Fabio Trabocchi will be whipping up three-course prix fixe dinners for just $50 per person from 5:30–6:30 PM, a steal considering a regular three-course prix fixe there normally costs $85 (212-653-0100).
