Last night just for grins I surfed over to the opentable.com website and plugged in May 25th availability for Artisanal Bistro in NYC. I was completely sure the "date not yet available" message would pop up since it was not technically 30 days out, but to my surprise 3 open reservation times appeared on the screen!
I easily booked a 7pm reservation for 2 on Sunday May 25th. And now I've been cruising around the Chowhound.com website to pick up some more reviews/comments on both Artisanal and Lupa and from the looks of most of the posts I think I have picked 2 winners. There were some less then stellar reviews for both restaurants, but it looked to me the positive comments outweighed the negatives. So I'm a happy gal with the reservations I've made.
I think this NYC weekend excursion is going to be lots of fun. I've planned several things, but I think I've left enough open time to be able to go with the flow too. As long as I have my trusty guidebook and my research information with me we'll be armed with lots of options!
