"The Deal: Three-course dinner at $55 per person. Why We Like It: People watching at the French bistro Brasserie 19 almost qualifies as an Olympic sport. And the $55 HRW menu at the River Oaks restaurant seems like a steal for participating in such a non-stop form of high art entertainment. Take down a few deviled eggs, trout almondine, or a grilled hanger steak with bone marrow, all while watching unleashed housewives, would-be socialites, and wine-spiked regulars traipse in and out of Brasserie 19’s front door." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
