It’s that time of year again!
Restaurant Week!
Restaurant Week NYC first began in 1992 when the promotion only ran for a week and only had restaurants serving lunch. Now its held twice a year, in January and July NYC’s restaurants put together special pre fixe menus for both dinner and lunch at a fraction of the usual prices to encourage more people to get out and try a new restaurant without the pricey menu. Lunch is $24.07 per person and dinner is $35.00 per person, offered Monday through Friday.
In the past I have tried Capital Grill, Fig and Olive, Mesa Grill, and the Artisanal Fromagerie, Bistro, and Wine Bar, and my favorite by far has been Mesa Grill. Every year they never fail to impress my palate. Restaurant week this past July I went with a friend to lunch at Mesa Grill. There was very little conversation other than “hmmmm” and “so yummy”, and big smiles while we ate.
On my list this time around are; Butter Restaurant, City Crab and Seafood Company, Morimoto…..and maybe another trip to Mesa Grill :)
