Make The Most Of Restaurant Week In New York City
New York City is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Restaurant Week, featuring special deals for diners through August 21.
The promotion is being offered by over 650 restaurants across the city’s five boroughs; over 60 styles of cuisines are being offered in 85 neighborhoods.
Restaurants are offering specially priced meals on weekdays, and have the option to also do so on Sunday. They are offering either a two-course lunch or three-course dinner prix-fixe menu, priced at $30, $45 or $60, depending on the restaurant. Over 100 restaurants are also offering $30 bottles of wine to mark the anniversary.
The concept has since been copied by other destinations in the United States and around the world.
Fred Dixon, president and chief executive of NYC & Company, New York City’s destination marketing organization, said, “We are proud to celebrate 30 years of NYC Restaurant Week, marking three decades of exceptional deals to diners across the five boroughs. To continue celebrating the city’s world-class dining scene, we are pleased to announce the launch of Savor NYC, a year-long culinary initiative that will spotlight the culinary community across the city’s multi-cultural neighborhoods encouraging visitors to go deeper and explore more.”
