New York City’s beloved dining event that gives patrons the opportunity to eat at the city’s best restaurants with discounted, prix-fixe menus is back for its 30th season. NYC & Company, the city’s tourism agency, last week announced reservations are now open at 600 participating restaurants across 85 neighborhoods. The program, which launched in 1992, runs for a month from July 18 through August 21.
Throughout the course of Restaurant Week, diners can pick from a selection of $30, $45, and $60 two-course lunches and $30, $45, and $60 three-course dinners. More than 100 of the participating restaurants will offer $30 bottles of wine to celebrate the program’s 30th anniversary.
Fourteen of the restaurants that participated in the original 1992 event are a part of this year’s lineup Barbetta, Carmine’s, Dock’s Oyster Bar, Gage & Tollner, Gallagher’s Steak House, The Palm, Sardi’s, Shun Lee West, Sylvia’s, Tavern on the Green, Tribeca Grill, The Russian Tea Room, Union Square Café, and Victor’s Café.
“We are pleased to celebrate the 30th anniversary of NYC Restaurant Week this summer, a major milestone coinciding with the palpable vibrancy in our city right now,” Fred Dixon, president and CEO of NYC & Company, said in a statement. “For 30 years, the program has offered exceptional deals to diners while also lifting and celebrating the restaurant community across all five boroughs, underscoring the truly authentic dining scene offered only in New York City.”
Mastercard, one of the event’s sponsors, is offering its customers the ability to preregister and get a $10 statement credit on three transactions of $45 or more while dining at any participating restaurant through July 31.
