WEST VILLAGE — Yakiniku parlor Takashi is serving a special "Beauty from Within" menu throughout Fashion Week. The 7-course prix fixe includes several dishes made with collagen and other vitamin-rich foods, and the idea is that these will improve your skin, make you feel younger, and generally increase your sense of well-being. The menu is $60 per person. [EaterWire]
