'Secret' Tables at Prune; Nordic Cuisine Power Trio at NORTH Festival

Gabrielle Hamilton's Prune is partnering with American Express to offer "secret tables" to card-holders throughout the month of September. The way it works: If you have a Gold Amex, you can call the restaurant anytime during September and request a reservation for the "American Express Gold Table for Two." They're offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Seatings are at 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. nightly. Also, if you have a Gold card, you can show it to your sever to get a free off the menu dish next month.
