For the FOODIES!!!! NYC Restaurant Week is back!

I know! I know! It only happens twice a year (Jan and July) and you wish they'd just make it a monthly event. Well brighten up, it's here again in 2 weeks. NYC Restaurant Week runs July 16-20 and July 23-27. That two full working weeks of pure culinary bliss for a fraction of the usual price. As part of the festivities New Yorkers are lucky enough to get gourmet prix-fixe three-course meals at some of the city's finest restaurants. Granted a lot of the items on these pre-fixe menus among the less expensive items on the usual menu, but every year that I've tried it, I've found the food fabulous and the service great. The price is $24.07 lunch and $35 for dinner (prices are per person and do not include beverages, taxes or tips). So now you can check out that new (exorbitant) restaurant you've been waiting to try. Here's an article on how to make the most of Restaurant Week: http://gonyc.about.com/od/restaurantweek/tp/rw_tips.htm And here's another read on the best choices for Restaurant Week: http://gonyc.about.com/od/summer/tp/bestrwchoices.htm The reservations sell out quickly so don't wait too long to make yours.

REMEMBER: RESERVE EARLY, BE ADVENTUROUS and TIP GENEROUSLY and DON'T FORGET to ask for the 'Official Restaurant Week Menu' when you're seated.
