Launching lunch at Le Bec Fin

If you're not a certified Amex black card carrier but still chomping at the bit to checkout the newly repolished and reopened Le Bec Fin, you'll be pleased to know that owner Nicolas Fanucci and chef Walter Abrams have rolled out a $55 lunch prix fixe. For about a third of what dinner will run you, the menu includes all of the foie gras, caviar, truffles, and dry aged beef that you'd expect for a luxe lunch at Le Bec. But status menu items aside, it's Abrams' bright vegetarian options that appear to be the winners, on this summery menu at least.
