NYC Restaurant Week

Hundreds of participating restaurants with prix fixe menus (lunch costs $26 and a 3 course dinner $42) making dining out more accessible by presenting a great chance to try places you'd usually save for a special occasion or get adventurous trying out new cuisines.

If you are struggling to book in at some of the popular spots, try booking less popular times, like Sunday night or a lunchtime.

"This summer we look forward to welcoming visitors and New Yorkers to nearly 400 restaurants in 40 city neighborhoods, which together represent over 30 international cuisines," says Tracy Nieporent, president of NYC & Company Restaurant Committee. "The 27th edition of NYC Restaurant Week is the perfect time to discover the quality, variety and hospitality that makes New York City one of the world's greatest culinary capitals".
