NYC & Company, the city’s official tourism marketing company, has transformed its popular 11-year old Restaurant Week promotion into a lunch date and a dinner date.
From June 23 to June 27, and from June 30 through July 4, consumers can enjoy prix-fixe dinners ($20.03 for a three-course lunch, $30.03 for a prix-fixe dinner) at more than 170 of the city’s restaurants. Participating eateries include Balthazar, Blue Water Grill and the Gramercy Tavern. Reservations will be accepted starting May 27. More info is at www.nycvisit.com.
For the first time this year, a portion of the proceeds from reservations booked at www.opentable.com will go toward nonprofits Share our Strength and City Meal on Wheels.
American Express, Delta Air Lines and Coca-Cola are sponsoring Summer Restaurant Week and will support with print ads via Garlic Advertising, New York City. American Express will give its members advance notice of the participating restaurants through its monthly mailers.
Summer Restaurant Week is part of Summer Breaks, the city’s celebration from June 1 through Sept. 5 which includes special hotel packages, Broadway ticket discounts and other offers.
