Telepan (Visit this link)

Named after the chef and owner Bill Telepan, who brought sparkle to the glory at many of the fine restaurants at which he worked--Le Cirque, Le Bernardin, Gotham Bar & Grill, and Judson Grill--now has his own place in his neighborhood, the Upper West Side. The food is seasonal and organic, and the restaurant has become a favorite of UWS residents, Lincoln Center ticket holders, and gourmands.

Fancy on the Cheap

If you are itching to try some of the city's fine dining, but are decidedly non-itching to pay fine dining prices, stop by for lunch instead of dinner. Many restaurants crammed for dinner will serve the same food to a nearly empty room at lunchtime. Prices are often more reasonable; for instance, Jean Georges, the well-starred restaurant right off Columbus Circle (at 1 Central Park West), has a lunch menu that features any two entrees for only $24. Afterwards, take a walk through the park and splurge on a ridiculously overpriced $4 ice cream from a cart.
