We're not really sure who this dinner is for. Tourists with cash to burn who don't know where to go? We'd follow Eater's advice on this. Foodies and their families head to Gotham Bar and Grill for the relatively cheap $145 dinner, fabulous types should try the Polo Bar (it's serving an à la carte menu), and hipsters should head to the Glasserie in Brooklyn for a $68 meal that includes grilled rabbit and cheese flatbread.
