January's delicious discounts in NYC

17/01/2012

It’s back and it’s bigger than ever! New York Restaurant Week has kicked off with many mouth-watering deals in scores of the city’s finest restaurants. From January 16th until February 10th, restaurants will pull out all the stops to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the New York Restaurant Week.

Restaurants across the city are inviting you to take part in this celebration with 20 incredible days of three-course prix-fixe dining, featuring $24.07 for lunch and $35.00 for dinner at more than 300 restaurants. In honor of its 20th Anniversary, the NYC Restaurant Week will this year be, for the first time ever, a 20-day event. Adding extra days to NYC Restaurant Week only underscores just how many reasons there are to celebrate this milestone for one of the City's most exciting and anticipated events.

The NYC Restaurant Week stands as New York City's original dining celebration and is a pioneer in the dining industry. After beginning as the country’s first-ever restaurant week when it debuted in 1992, it has gradually been developed from a one-off culinary event to welcome the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to the city into one of the largest dining events of the annual cuisine calendar.

Although the NYC Restaurant Week was originally created to appeal to delegates and other DNC attendees, the program found a strong following among residents who were excited by the prospect of dining at some of the City's top restaurants for a fraction of the usual cost—$19.92 for a three-course lunch—and who wanted NYC Restaurant Week to be a recurring event.

Over the past 20 years, NYC Restaurant Week has grown rapidly, yet has remained committed to giving visitors and residents the opportunity to experience the quality, variety and hospitality that embody the NYC dining experience. Nowadays, both residents and tourists alike are able to take advantage of some of the best savings to be made in the city, and this year, the NYC Restaurant Week promises to be a memorable one.

The New York City Official guide website offers users the ability to browse menus, make reservations and flick through all of the involved restaurants. Bon appétit!
