$125 - The Carlyle: NY Times Critics' Pick Dinner for 2

The Deal

Naming it a Critics' Pick, William Grimes of The New York Times says "there really is no substitute for eating in a place like the Carlyle." For $125, Travelzoo subscribers can experience the cuisine of chef Jacques Sorci, a member of the prestigious Maitres Cuisiniers de France and the Academie Culinaire de France.

Settle into The Carlyle Restaurant's "old-world" dining room that Zagat awards a 27 for decor, calling it "synonymous with class."

With this Local Deal for two people, select items from an exclusive menu that features dishes from the regular menu as well as special items, including:

• Two appetizers, such as steak tartare, jumbo lump crab cakes and escargots

• Two entrees, including choices like Kobe steak, Maine lobster Thermidor and roasted Long Island duck

• Two desserts, like Grand Marnier souffle and a chocolate tasting plate

• Two glasses of Louis Roederer Estate sparkling wine

Make a night of it: For $179, get this dinner plus a table and two drinks at Bemelmans Bar, normally $320. Sip your choice of Bemelmans' famous cocktails, like the Whiskey Smash, while enjoying what Zagat calls the "super-sophisticated" atmosphere and the "whimsical" murals by "Madeline" author Ludwig Bemelmans.

Note: Men are required to wear jackets at The Carlyle Restaurant.
