Gift Card Suggestions for Must-Try Restaurants in Tribeca & UWS?

Hey everyone,

I’m gifting two friends each a ~$150 restaurant gift card for the holidays and looking for some neighborhood-specific suggestions.

  • One lives in Tribeca and loves Mediterranean cuisine (but is up for anything interesting).
  • The other lives on the Upper West Side and is obsessed with French food (though also open to other cuisines).

Any must-try spots in these areas that would make a great gift? Ideally somewhere that feels special—maybe a memorable tasting menu or a standout signature dish. Thanks in advance!
