Tips for NYC Restaurant Week

1.  Score a top table.
Having trouble getting a table at one of the City’s popular restaurants? Try booking for lunch: many sought-after eateries participate in the program only for the midday meal. Alternatively, make a reservation for Sunday night, when there’s usually more availability—and when many restaurants still serve their NYC Restaurant Week menus. (Check in advance.)

2.  Plan ahead.
Many diners reserve tables only during the first five days of the program, but NYC Restaurant Week runs for five weeks—leaving many opportunities to recover from your food coma and book again.

3.  Explore new cuisines.
Every NYC Restaurant Week is a chance to expand your palate with a novel cuisine. The participating restaurants serve up excellent dishes from around the globe—a delicious way to experience the City’s famous diversity. You can filter by cuisine hereclick to know more information.

4.  Drink it all in.
Thirsty? Some restaurants pair beverages including cocktails, specially priced $30 bottles of wine and featured beer Stella Artois.

5.  Let Instagram be your guide.
Check #NYCRestaurantWeek on Instagram to see what dishes and restaurants are trending. Pro tip: Search the geotags of participating restaurants to see what looks delicious before you book. When you dine, post your own photos and tag them with #NYCRestaurantWeek.
