Time flies it has been a.month since my last post.  

I love trying new dishes and a variety of food. Ever since I started working I took advantage of the restaurant deals and specials. Twice a year NYC restaurants participate in restaurant week. I recall that lunch used to be $25 and dinner was $35. Now, for this season’s restaurant week prices for a three course prix fixe meal went up; $29 for lunch/brunch and $42 dinner.  

For this season’s restaurant week, which started from July 25 through August 19, 386 restaurants are participating. 296/386 posted menus and I have been reviewing all 296 menus for the last two weeks. 

Here are my top picks for getting your money’s worth comparing each restaurant week menu with their regular menu. 

Meanwhile if you have OpenTable or want to take advantage of happy hour specials. Here are my top picks:

For the next few weeks there will be posts on restaurant week meals eaten at restaurants. Stay tuned!
