It's back this year during Jan 25th -31st!

NEW EDIT: RESTAURANT WEEK IS EXTENDED TO FEB 28th!! They're adding more restaurants make sure to check link at the end of post.

NYC Restaurant Week is a week long event during the winter and summer at some of the best restaurants in NYC. It's been a NYC tradition for 30 years. Pre-covid you were able to enjoy indoor dining at top restaurants for a great deal.

Due to Covid-19, NYC Restaurant Week is now to go since indoor dining is not permitted in NYC. It not only allows you to try some great restaurants for a discounted price, but it also allows you to help struggling restaurants that were deeply impacted by the pandemic!

Lunch and dinner options (an entree and side) are available for takeout or delivery for only $20.21 in honor of 2021. There are over 539 participating restaurants across all 5 boroughs. On their website, they have filters that allow you to sort through the restaurants by their location, lunch or dinner option, and cuisine. In addition, their website has different collections that group the restaurants into categories including Fry-yay, Black-owned, Date night and Editors' Picks. LINK TO ALL PARTICIPATING RESTAURANTS AT THE END OF THE POST.

Some of these restaurants like Bar Italia in Manhattan are $$$, but during this week, you are able to try these expensive restaurants for a deal! In the past, I would pick restaurants that were aesthetically pleasing, but this year I would suggest picking restaurants that have a good tasty food selection. I would check reviews on Yelp or Instagram if you are stuck on what to decide.
