NEW YORK CITY RESTAURANTS:
ENJOY THEM FOR LESS!
New York City restaurants are amongst the best, if not THE best, in the world. The big apple is the largest city in the United
States showcasing a wide variety of nationalities that speak more than 170 languages. Diversity means diversity of food, and no other city in world offers you more variety than New York City!
I’m known as a "foodie." Roughly translated, it means someone who thinks and breathes food. I cook and bake alot, I have taken cooking vacations, I participate in cooking classes all the time, read cookbooks, and watch cooking shows. Get the picture? Suffice it to say that I take this section rather seriously! You can rely on me for great information about New York City restaurants. Here are my recommendations:
1. TRY AT LEAST ONE OF THE
TOP NEW YORK CITY RESTAURANTS
How do you do it without spending a fortune? Simple. Implement all or one of my options:
Many of the top New York City restaurants offer a prix fixe lunch or dinner or pre-theater special. This is the best way to sample the superb food and ambience. You’ll receive a menu that allows you to select from several appetizers, main courses, and desserts…all for one price. Check out my extensive list here. Bon appétit!
2. RESTAURANT WEEK:
IDEAL TIMES TO TRY A TOP RESTAURANTPlan your trip to coincide with Restaurant Week. (It should really be called Restaurant Weeks as it spans a two -week period.) This is a great opportunity to try a complete meal at just about any of the top New York City restaurants for a mere $24.07 for lunch and $35.00 for dinner. Personally, I prefer the lunch. It is cheaper, but I also prefer to be ‘stuffed’ during mid-day, giving me the entire day to work it off. Restaurant week takes in June and January. Click here for more information.
3. KID'S RESTAURANT WEEK AND
4. KID'S NIGHT ON BROADWAY3. Expose your children to great food and great New York City restaurants by participating in Kids’ Restaurant Week held in June. Adults pay $29.00 for a full meal while children pay their age. You'll feel good, and have an additional lesson to teach your children because a portion of the proceeds goes to charity. Check it out here. Check it out here. 4. Save on meals during Kid's Night On Broadway, too. Buy one adult Broadway show ticket, get your child's ticket for FREE. In addition, dine in a participating restaurant and your child's entree is FREE! Check it out here.
5. DINE TONITEDINE TONITE allows you to save up to 30% off your restaurant bill at selected New York City restaurants with no coupons. Here's how it works. Go to the site, select a restaurant (each restaurant features its discount), make a reservation, and enjoy. The discount automatically comes off your bill. The only fee is a $5 booking fee.
