Thursday, otherwise known as the sexiest night of the week, sounds even sultrier with these Recession Specials about our great city.  Enjoy them.

1) David Burke at Bloomingdale's offers a three course "Lobster Night" prix fixe in their bar for only $20.07.  View their menu here.   Bloomindale's, 1000 Third Ave. (between 59th & 60th).  212-813-2195;  www.burkeinthebox.com

2) If you'd like to pair your pasta with some celeb sightings, head to Da Silvano between noon and 6:30PM where $27.50 will get you 2 courses, dessert, and a good view of Jennifer Connelly.  260 6th Ave.  (at Bleecker).  212-982-2343; www.dasilvano.com

3) Maya's extraordinary Tequila Bar & Lounge is an absolute gem of a Recession Special.  Sit at a high top in their bar, and order 4 or 5 of their small plates, paired with one of their signature Tamarind margaritas.   The well prices (many under $10) and generously portioned tastings will ensure you leave barely breaking $40.00 for 2.  Can't be beat.  Read my rave review of Maya here.  1191 First Ave. (between 64th & 65th).  212-585-1818; www.modernmexican.com

4) Finally, Braeburn is serving its $30 "Comfort Menu", a simple and straightforward choice of three courses.  View the menu here.  117 Perry St. (between Hudson & Greenwich).  212-255-0696; www.braeburnrestaurant.com
