“NYC Restaurant Week offers visitors and New Yorkers the perfect opportunity to try a new cuisine and sample the various offerings of New York City’s finest dining establishments at an affordable price,” said NYC & Company CEO George Fertitta. “Innovative programs like NYC Restaurant Week showcase the vibrancy and diversity of New York City and help spotlight and support one of the City’s most important industries.”
NYC Restaurant Week was started more than 20 years ago, as a way to get diners out and about during the 1992 Democratic National Convention in New York City. Now, the program is bigger and better than ever.
According to OpenTable, in 2013, more than 200,000 diners were seated through online reservations, all of which generated more than $6 million. And it’s money well spent, we say. Now, on to the bigger question: Where should we go first?
