Half-Price on Certificates for Fine New York Restaurants

Update August 14th -- Just checked for this week's update: Solace (406 E 64th) and Aegean Cove (Astoria) have been added to this week's list of available certificates; AJ Maxwell's and Destino also are available.

If you live in or around New York City, here's another way to experience some wonderful dining while enjoying some nice savings. WPIX CW11 TV is running a promotion enabling you to buy two $50.00 gift certificates ($100.00 total value) for some upscale restaurants for $50.00.

You can only use one certificate to visit, so you'd need to visit that restaurant twice between now and June 2009 to get the $100 combined value. But these are the kinds of restaurants you'd probably enjoy visiting more than once anyway.

Each week WPIX will feature a Restaurant-of-the-week. At 8:00 AM Thursday, they open up the on-line store for that week's restaurant. But you have to be fast - they're only able to provide a limited number of gift certificates per week.

Right now, you can buy two certificates at the following restaurants:
Sofrito
Butterfield8
Destino
AJ Maxwell’s Steakhouse
Ninos

To order certificates for these or to keep tabs on what restaurants they add each week, here's a link to the offer.
