UPPER WEST SIDE — Hungry fashionistas — along with Upper West Siders — can enjoy dining deals at dozens of neighborhood restaurants during Fashion Week this year.

The Lincoln Square BID is hosting an expanded Fashion Plate Prix Fixe week from Feb. 7 to 14, with dinners ranging from $20 to $40 for three courses, lunches ranging from $14 to $35 and weekend brunch and breakfast options as well.

A few restaurants will also offer drink specials, such as the $5 blackberry bellini at 'wichcraft at the David Rubenstein Auditorium, and the Haute Fashion Cocktail at the Atlantic Grill, which features raspberry vodka with cranberry juice and lemon juice for $14.

New additions to the prix fixe list this year include American Table Café & Bar, which opened last fall;  Andanada 141, which opened last November; The Smith, which also opened in November; and Arpeggio Food & Wine at Avery Fisher Hall.

"Fashion Plate Prix Fixe deals help stimulate business and bring enthusiasm to the Upper West Side during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and it is a great way to keep warm and get an incredible meal in between shows," said Monica Blum, president of the BID.
