High end recession dining deals. Includes my fav Perry St. lunch deal, but *tons* of others. Damn. I think there are going to be lots of places going under at these prices.

our friend robin sent this turkey left over recipe :
(Panes con Pavo)
SERVES 6
Turkeys were "thoroughly domesticated by the Aztecs and other Mexican and Central American races long before the arrival of Europeans", according to A. Hyatt Verrill in Foods America Gave the World (L. C. Page, 1937). Proof positive: this gently spiced turkey sandwich, ubiquitous in El Salvador.
1 1⁄2 cups light beer
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. black peppercorns
2 tsp. sesame seeds
2 tsp. pepitas (dried pumpkin seeds; optional)
1 tsp. dried oregano
1⁄2 tsp. annatto seeds
5 cloves garlic
2 dried bay leaves
2 large turkey drumsticks (about 4 lbs.)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 medium tomatoes, cored and chopped
2 small yellow onions, 1 chopped, 1 thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and chopped
6 6" crusty italian bread loaves, ends trimmed, split
in half lengthwise
1 bunch watercress
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Purée beer, oil, peppercorns, sesame seeds, pepitas, oregano, annatto, garlic, bay leaves, and 1 cup water in a blender. Combine purée and turkey in a dutch oven; season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil on the stove, cover, and bake until turkey is very tender, about 2 hours.
2. Purée tomatoes, chopped onions, peppers, and 1 cup water in blender. Transfer turkey to a plate (leave sauce in pot); let cool. Add purée to pot; boil over medium-high heat, stirring often, until thickened, about 45 minutes. Discard skin and bones from turkey; tear meat into thick pieces. Stir turkey into sauce, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide stew between loaves; garnish with sliced onions and watercress.

While 10 Downing attracted a good deal of press for its epic delays, it's not the only restaurant to make the fall previews two years in a row. Meet Co. Pizzeria, the long anticipated project from Sullivan Street Bakery's Jim Lahey, first announced in Summer '07. The pizzeria's original projection of December '07 came and went and we haven't heard much from the burgeoning pizzaolo all year. Until now that is. Longtime Sullivan Street Bakery disciple Ed Levine got a sneak preview of the setup last week and brought along Slice to document it. What they found:

At 10 Downing, the long-delayed Village eatery from restaurateur Stephane Dorian (Le Zoo, Waterloo), onetime 71 Clinton chef Jason Neroni sends out market-focused, Med-accented New American fare at recession-conscious rates; its banquette-lined interior’s happening clientele and wallful of fine art ensure there’s plenty to please the eye, with a frontage of windows looking out on its bustling intersection to seal the deal.
