Butter Restaurant - New York City

Every year, NYC like many cities promotes restaurant week where prixe fixe menus at highly-rated or cutting-edge (sometimes, more ambience than food) restaurants are offered at lower octane prices.  One on the 2013 list was Butter Restaurant in downtown Manhattan which serves traditional American food with a spicy kick.  For foodies, I heard that the Executive Chef is Food Network favorite, Alexandra Guarnaschelli.
