Given that a filet or NY strip in the city typically costs on average anywhere between $35-$50 on its own, steakhouses can provide you with the most Restaurant Week bang for your buck. Problem is many participating Restaurant Week steakhouses only offer one steak on the RW menu and it’s more often than not a [...]

We had an amazing dinner at Pera Mediterranean Brasserie earlier this month that I’ve been meaning for weeks to write about (coming soon). Not to mention Pera has one of the best recession deals around with its ‘Wine and Meze Special’. Check this out — $39 gets you a bottle of wine from an extensive list [...]

We’re excited to try DBGB tonight with our friends Scott and Meredith who are in town from Atlanta. We’re also pretty psyched that DBGB is participating in Summer Restaurant Week 2009. Here’s a look at DBGB’s Summer Restaurant Week Menu, which looks very similar to DBGB’s 3-Course $22 lunch prix-fixe menu: :: APPETIZERS :: BUTTER [...]

Summer Restaurant Week 2009 is almost upon us begging the question of whether Winter Restaurant Week ever really ended. This one will run for three weeks instead of two and takes place from July 12–31 (excluding Saturdays, but restaurants have the option to offer the program on Sundays).

In celebration of Budget Travel’s current June 2009 ‘Foodie’ Issue, now through June 30th several NYC restaurants are offering diners a little something extra, such as a complimentary dessert or glass of wine.

Another day. Another Restaurant Week. Not that we’re complaining, though. Especially since this one revolves around wine. Vibrant Rioja, an organization formed to promote the Rioja wine region in the U.S., has teamed up with 50 or so NYC restaurants to offer prix-fixe deals and other specials that revolve around the region’s bold, bright tempranillo-based wines. [...]

So, we just heard about yet another Restaurant Week here in NYC. This one is actually more like an NYC restaurant week competition. In fact, they’re calling it the Signature Dish Contest. It’s all a part of the Continental Airlines International Restaurant Week in New York City from May 1-10th and it’s being hosted by none other than [...]

It seemed like it would never end. Many had gone as far as dubbing it “Restaurant Year.” But the end of Winter today also marks the official end of NYC’s Winter Restaurant Week. We’re really not that into Restaurant Week anyways to be honest. Unless your talking about a handful of top-tier, high-end restaurants, a [...]

In the “not a shocker” category, we learned over the weekend that 130+ restaurants have agreed to extend Restaurant Week through March 20th. Why the 20th instead of the entire month, we’re not excactly sure. We’ll find out and let you know. Some restaurants are extending into new meals and times. For example, you can now [...]
