Participating Restaurants for 2012 Summer New York City Restaurant Week Have Been Posted
The title says it all, the restaurants participating in the 2012 New York City summer Restaurant Week have been posted. This year is actually the 20th anniversary of restaurant week and the participating restaurants will offer a three course pre-fixe lunch menu for $24.07 and a three course pre-fixe dinner menu for $35. The deal runs July 16th through August 10th Monday through Friday (and Sundays at certain restaurants). Some of the usual favorite participating restaurants are One if by Land, Two if by Sea, Cafe Boulud and Nobu but there are also a few new additions to the list this year such as Bar Italia and STK Midtown. My suggestion for Restaurant Week is to go research restaurants that offer similar pre-fixe menus year round (such as Jean-Georges restaurants) and perhaps not visiting those during restaurant week since your time is limited. For example, since Il Mulino is normally pricey and does not offer a year round pre-fixe menu, perhaps you would want to go check that out for restaurant week. [Photo via]
Some places I would suggest visiting are:
- Il Mulino
- Mr. Chow
- Dovetail
- Cipriani Wall Street
- Ai Fiori
- Nobu
- Lavo
- One if by Land, Two if by Sea
These picks are restaurants that are usually quite expensive so it would be a great bargain to try them during restaurant week. You can view the participating restaurants list at www.nycgo.com and if you register your American Express card on the site, you get $20 back if you dine at four or more restaurants during restaurant week.
