Where To Dine On The Upper West Side For NYC Restaurant Week

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — Reservations are now available for this summer's NYC Restaurant Week, and most New Yorkers won't have to stray out of their own neighborhoods to take advantage of discounted meals.

Restaurant begins July 23 and runs through Aug. 17 this year. Participating restaurants will offer two-course lunches for $26 and three-course dinners for $42. In past restaurant weeks the promotion offered three-course lunches for $29.

"There is no better way to celebrate the diversity of New York City's unmatched culinary scene—the true dining capital of the world—than by experiencing a great meal (or two) among restaurants of 33 distinct cuisines participating in NYC Restaurant Week this summer," said Fred Dixon, president and CEO of NYC & Company.

Reservations are not required to dine at any of the participating restaurants but are encouraged due to the popularity of NYC Restaurant Week.

Patch is here to let you know where to capitalize on promotion on the Upper West Side. Nineteen Upper West Side restaurants will be participating in this summer's promotion. Most restaurants will be offering the promotional prices Monday-Friday, with some continuing the promotion on Sunday. Certain spots may only be offering the promotion solely for lunch or dinner, so be sure to check before booking a reservation. Costs of beverages, tips and taxes are not covered by the promotion.
