The summer subset of NYC Restaurant Week 2015 is here. For a one-month period from July 20 until August 14, fine dining and cheap eats merge, sanctioning foodies to sample high-end grub at discounted prices.
The prix fixe menu this summer is priced at $25 for lunch and $38 for dinner. At minimum, it will include a choice of three appetizers, three entrees and one dessert. Some restaurants may also offer à la carte options (i.e., dishes priced separately from a menu) and drink specials.
NYC Restaurant Week originated in 1992 as a lunch-only event, and has since jumped to include 368 restaurants and 30 types of fare. Here is your guide to the participating eateries downtown. And don’t forget—the majority will not offer prix fixe specials on Saturdays.
