Sometimes we all want to feel like we’re bougie but on a budget lol and if you love to eat then you should know about this!! Restaurant Week is something you should take advantage of. Every year restaurants host lunch and dinner where you can eat like royalty for a prix-fixed price. These restaurants are the pricey ones so it’s only right that you try it out especially if you don’t want to spend $60 on a plate of food all the time.
This winter is the perfect time to intake part in dining out especially after work or you just want to cater to yourself. NYC Restaurant Week started on January 21 and runs until February 8 with special prix-fixe menus at hundreds of restaurants across the City. With two-course lunch for $26 and three-course dinner for $42, you can try countless cuisines across dozens of neighborhoods. Other cities have restaurant week as well and you can always google restaurant week and it should pop up with the information. You can chose from Italian to Seafood to a Steakhouse and even Sushi. Restaurant week happens twice a year and right now it’s the winter segment. This is the perfect opportunity to try a new restaurant or even that expensive restaurant you have been dying to go too and if it’s on the list then you should be making reservations to go. I am certainly taking advantage of restaurant week. I am going to try at-least two new restaurants before Feb 8th. I haven’t chosen which ones yet but I will post my experience with both of them after.
Restaurant week is a clever promotional strategy for businesses. I feel like it gives people like myself an opportunity to try a 4 or 5 star restaurant without the hassle of paying so much. If I really wanted to spend that much for a plate of food, I would, but why spend so much when I could go somewhere local and spend half the price. Sometimes it’s all about the ambiance and to treat yourself (as my best friend would say to me all the time). Restaurant Week has grown in popularity since it started back in 1992. It offers many benefits for restaurant owners and can help increase sales during otherwise slow periods.
If you live in NYC, you should take advantage of restaurant week and if you live in another city, google your cities restaurant week and make sure you get a seat at the table. Whether you go alone, on a date, or with your girlfriends or guy friends, treat yourself to a nice outing for once. And if you love to try new places and if you love food then this is just right for you.
