I never miss NYC restaurant week - here's how to get the most out of it
Alexa Pipia/Business Insider
NYC Restaurant Week happens twice a year; during the winter and the summer. This year, from July 25-August 19 (not technically a week), over 350 restaurants offer pre-fixe menus - $29 for lunch; $42 for dinner. The promotion allows diners to experience fine dining at a discounted price.
As a college student and self-proclaimed foodie, I was excited by the prospect of experiencing upscale restaurants while not completely breaking the bank.
Four years later and I treat restaurant week like it's a holiday. I've become so accustomed that I know exactly when it's happening and make plans in advance so I don't miss it. I went from dining at one or two restaurants to having a total of six reservations for NYC Restaurant Week Summer 2016.
I'd be lying if I said all of my restaurant week experiences were great. There have been instances were I've paid way more than expected or the food was not up to par. But there's a reason I never miss it.
