Terrance Brennan's Murray Hill brasserie Artisanal is rolling out three new multicourse menus: a $24.50 three-course pre-theater menu, served nightly from 5–6:30 PM and 10–11 PM, with choices like sauteed skate wing with blood orange grenobloise and cauliflower; a $36.50, three-course dinner prix fixe, available all night, with choices like Parmesan gnocchi; and a $21.50 three-course lunch with choices like chicken paillard. Additionally, sommelier pairings can be added to any of the menus for a reasonable $13.50.
A bit further uptown, Brennan's Picholine has added a seven-course game menu ($145 per person) and, for those who have all night to eat, a whopping 16-course chef’s tasting menu ($195 per person). Recession, schmecession.
