11 Astoria, LIC Eateries Join NYC Summer Restaurant Week

ASTORIA, QUEENS — Western Queens residents will have a number of options for discounted meals in the neighborhood this summer, with nearly a dozen local eateries signing on to the latest edition of NYC Restaurant Week.

A total of 11 establishments in Astoria and Long Island City made the cut for the summer restaurant week, which will kick off July 18 and last a full 30 days to celebrate the event's 30th anniversary. Reservations opened for the 623 spots participating across the five boroughs last week.

The summer 2022 program will offer prix-fixe lunch and dinner meals for $30, $45 or $60.

The program runs from July 18 through August 21, but restaurants may participate for one, two, three, four or all five weeks.

In Western Queens, participating restaurants include longtime spots like Vite Vinosteria and Sac's Place as well as newer ones like Penny Bridge.

Here's the full list of Astoria and Long Island City restaurants where deals can be scored:

• Addy's Barbecue
• De Mole
• Hoja Santa Restaurant
• Il Falco
• La Tiendita Taqueria
• Levante
• Meet the Meat
• Penny Bridge
• Rivercrest
• Sac's Place
• Vite Vinosteria

Unlike the past two Restaurant Weeks, this one will be the first since the coronavirus pandemic without sweeping masking and capacity restrictions.

"Masks and proof of vaccination are no longer required to dine indoors," the event's site states.

City officials still recommend that people wear high-quality masks in indoor public spaces to stop the spread of COVID-19.
