P.J. Leahy's - Economy Seafood

My cousin Vicky and I passed by P.J. Leahy's last week on our way to Tournesol. I spied a new special on Thursdays and Fridays that caught my eye. Here it is:

$3 Mussels in red or white wine sauce and...

Shrimp and clams for $.25 each!

Mind you that P.J.'s is a divey Mets bar, not a fine restaurant, but take the special for what it's worth--cheap bar food that gets the job done. Stop by after a ball game and indulge in this fabulous "recession special."

I walked by Bartolino's on Broadway last week and spied an interesting--and affordable--dinner special:

Prix-Fix 3 Course Menu

Until 6p, daily (includes weekends)

$25 per person

1st Course:

Rigatoni al Filetto di Pomodoro- sauteed prosciutto, onion and plum tomatoes

2nd Course:

Chicken Marsala - chicken breast sauteed in marsala wine and mushrooms

Filet of Sole Oreganata - sauteed in olive oil, garlic, white wine and seasoned bread crumbs

Veal Parmigiana - breaded veal cutlet topped with mozzarella and tomato sauce

All dishes above served with vegetables of the day

3rd Course:

Tiramisu

Enjoy this reasonable special and if you're not in the mood for such an extensive meal, Bartolino's has plenty of other dishes that will satiate you after 6p. Remember that this place is closed on Tuesdays so scratch that night off your list--but all other nights are wide open.
