I feel strongly that Tuesday is the most underrated day of the week.  Take another look her -- she's got more to offer... like these Tuesday night Recession Specials!  Here are some options to yum-up those Tuesday night plans:

1) Aroma Kitchen & Wine Bar's "Frugal Feast" is $25 for three courses.  View the menu here.  36 E. 4th (between Lafayette and Bowery).  212-375-0100; www.aromanyc.com

2) If you hit Blue Smoke between 4-7PM, you get an appetizer of your choice if you purchase a pitcher of beer, for $20 total, anywhere in the restaurant.  Considering that some apps, like the Crispy Chili Crusted Calamari will usually cost you $12.95, this is a pretty tasty deal.  Here's their menu.  116 E. 27th St. (between Park and Lex).  212-447-7733; www.bluesmoke.com

3) A visit to Jane will leave you satiated with their "Bird and Beer" special.  For $15 you get fried chicken, a choice of side, and a pint of any draught beer.  100 West Houston Street.  212-254-7000; www.ctrnyc.com/JANE/index.html

4) Smith's is offering a $35 dinner for two: roasted spring chicken, polenta, salad, and chocolate mousse.  79 MacDougal Street (between Houston and Bleecker). 212-260-0100; www.smithsnyc.com

5) If the downtown deals don't work for you, head up to Nonna on the Upper West Side and gorge yourself on all-you-can-eat spaghetti and meatballs for $14.95.  Read my endorsement of Nonna as a solid recession option here.  520 Columbus Ave at 85th Street.  212-579-3194; www.nonnarestaurant.com
