NYC Restaurant Week Coincides with Winter 2010 NYIGF
White Plains, NY — One of New York City’s most popular semi-annual promotions, NYC Restaurant Week™, will return January 25–February 7, 2010, conveniently coinciding with the winter edition of the New York International Gift Fair® (NYIGF®), which takes place January 30–February 4. During “Restaurant Week,” more than 200 of the City’s hottest new and established restaurants offer signature dishes for a fraction of the usual price.
Participating restaurants, located throughout Manhattan and the boroughs, represent both casual and formal dining in a variety of cuisines. Prices for the program are the same at each location, with $24.07 three-course prix-fixe lunches and $35 three-course prix-fixe dinners (excluding beverage, tax and gratuity). Prices are available weekdays only, although restaurants have the option to offer the program on Sundays.
“New York City is renowned as one of the world’s top culinary destinations,” said Dorothy Belshaw, NYIGF director and GLM senior vice president. “New York Restaurant Week gives NY Market participants affordable access to superlative dining.”
