While one hotel in Tribeca frets about finding an executive chef, the rest of Manhattan hotels are looking forward to Restaurant Week.

Because this is a city with a mass amount of hotels trying to be cool by tacking on top-of-the-line kitchens to their 5-star reputations, the selection for NYRW is quite juicy and ultra tempting...
