British Airways Visa NYC Michelin Promotion and a Chance to Dine with TPG

by on August 3, 2011 · 140 comments

in British Airways, Contests, General TPG Business

I, like many of you, got in on the British Airways 100,000 mile bonus this spring and I recently received an interesting NYC dining promotion, which sparked my interest:

“Use your British Airways Visa® Card at any NYC MICHELIN Guide 2011 star-rated restaurant today through October 1, 2011.  Dine once and receive a $50 statement credit.  Dine twice and receive another $50 statement credit for a total of $100.  Minimum purchase of $50 each time you dine.1”

British Airways Visa NYC Michelin Promotion

I’ve been on a contest kick lately and I’ve also gotten the chance to meet up with several TPG readers (which have all turned into really interesting conversations), so I thought I’d take advantage of this promo and invite a reader to lunch or dinner at one of the one star restaurants in NYC. I love you all, but I’m not splurging on a thousand dollar meal at Per Se!

Here’s how to win: I’ve selected the restaurant I want to go to, so you have to make one guess from the list (below). You can enter a total of two times – once in the comments section of this post and once via Twitter, follow me and then Tweet me @thepointsguy and include your restaurant guess and include hashtag #dinewithTPG.

Enter by Sunday August 7, 2011 at 11:59pm Eastern Time. You don’t have to be NYC based, but I will not pay for transportation, so you’ll have to find a way to be here on a day when I’m in NYC and before this promo ends on October 1, 2011. If multiple people guess the right restaurant, I’ll choose a random winner.

Good luck! Make your guess from the following restaurants…

    Saul (Spotted Pig is actually quite cheap btw, and Veritas is overrated IMO, and Gramercy Tavern is supposed to be good, still haven’t been there even though its next door to my apartment in NY)

  • JS

    Gotham Bar & Grill

  • Dan

    Saul in Brooklyn for a casual, yet relaxed setting. Smith Street is just a subway stop or 2 away from Manhattan. It’s also a ‘trendy’ shopping street.

    Just as an aside, the smart money is on Sushi of Gari, since they’re one of the few places in NY where the sushi matches Tokyo.

    My official guess is Saul.

  • Lauren

    Blue Hill!

  • Cstrick

    It’s got to be Bouley.

  • http://twitter.com/MoSchnitz Moshe Billet

    Funny, on the BA website with details about the offer, they also list Peter Luger on their Michelin list with a * and note the following:

    “*Peter Luger does not accept credit cards and is not eligible for this offer”

    Actually a smart answer would be Aldea as it is still participating in the ongoing restaurant week in NYC. $25 3-course lunch!

    Blue Hill!

  • Mrcandoit

    It can only be Eleven Madison Park (well, it should be:-). My birthday is Sept. 25 so we could really make it fun (I’ll fly into NYC). Since I’ll be turning double nickel that day, have travelled to all 7 continents and have a smoking hot, super intelligent fiance (if you choose me, I bring her along and pay for her, right?), you are guaranteed to have a night to remember! Okay, I’m sounding like a douche so I say fly on The Points Guy!

  • Matthew

    Let’s go to the Breslin!

  • Jasher

    Annisa

  • Bryan

    Blue Hill

  • PH

    Bouley

  • abcx

    Nobody’s asking the real question: can you double dip with add-on cards or does that not work because they have the same card number with Chase?

  • abcx

    Damn, why is it so hard to get a vegetarian option? I’m going to Dovetail on a Monday, they have a veg. menu, and I live on the UWS. It’s only $46 so over $50 after tax and tip, which is perfect. I assume Chase does not mean over $50 before tax…

    After looking at the prices, I know why I ever been to a Michelin starred restaurant. Most of the one-stars except Dovetail will still cost over $50 for a meal after the discount. No way am I paying that. And they hardly have anything vegetarian. No, I do not want to eat squid or duck liver or snail. TYVM.

  • Dave

    Casa Mono, clearly!

  • Anonymous

    My Guess: wd~50 — but only because that’s where I really want to go :P

    However, Spotted Pig is absolutely one of the coolest restaurants in NYC. I really enjoyed it last time I went. But remember, that’s NOT my guess. Unless I’m right, in which case it is. Man this feels like one of those grade school multiple choice tests where I’d circle both answers, and the teacher would give me a big ‘ol frowny face.

  • Ryan Sensenig

    I have never been; however, I’m going to guess the seemingly popular Flatiron favorite — Eleven Madison.

  • Seth A

    I’m guessing the Dressler.

  • cheng10011

    I pick Wallse. Austrian is not that common, even in NYC.

  • greek2me

    Gotham Bar and Grill

  • Joanna

    Eleven Madison- love that place!

  • Scott M

    It has to be 11 Madison! :)

  • SallyL

    I say let’s blow off Manhattan and go eat at Dressler

    HAS to be Sushi of Gari because you wrote about your love of seafood and the amazing sushi meals that you had on your Japan trip. Come on, let’s go out and drink some sake and trip on some incredible fish! :)

  • Vishal

    If it’s a sushi place, I’d only drink. So I won’t pick a Japanese restaurant. River Cafe, it is. Let’s enjoy a delicious meal with a delicious view. :)

    I would say Aldea because it is new and I would guess you have already dined at all the others being a man of your status :)

  • Harriet Pipple2

    Rouge Tomate is Perfect for cooling off this hot and miserable NYC summer: Cool food (gorgeously light but superbly tasty), Cool design (Wow! But then I do love red and beige woods), Cool space (and I mean space. Not those crunched-in tables usual for midtown).

    Specifically:
    1. The fish! – virtuous, healthy, voted absolutely most delicious by those who hate fish but know they’re supposed to like/eat it.
    2. The booths – especially downstairs.
    3. Non-alcoholic drink superb: Cucumber Cooler.
    4. Great wine-pairings.
    5. The adventure: some weird-sounding combos that are quite tasty.
    6. The chocolate desserts: yes, virtue (no cream) but then that sugar fix all red-blooded Americans need…
    7. I’ve never been either, but I’ve been collecting reviews from those I trust who have.

    I said Del Posto on Twitter, so I’ll cover my bases and go with my second favorite restaurant on the list for my guess here–Cafe Boulud. If it is not one of these two, TPG, it should be! Hope we dine together!
