Prepare your taste buds: reservations are now open for summer 2025 NYC Restaurant Week, the New York City Tourism + Conventions announced Tuesday. Founded in 1992, the beloved culinary tradition returns from July 21 through August 17, offering discounted meals at nearly 600 restaurants in 70 neighborhoods. Participating eateries will serve two-course lunches and three-course dinners at prix-fixe prices of $30, $45, or $60.
The original Restaurant Week began in 1992 as a one-time event during the Democratic National Convention. Now the event returns to New York City twice a year, allowing New Yorkers and visitors to experience the city’s best dining experiences on a budget.
“We’re thrilled to kick off NYC Restaurant Week, a tradition founded by New York City that invites locals and visitors to savor the diversity of our dining scene, with nearly 600 participating restaurants across all five boroughs,” Julie Coker, president and CEO of New York City Tourism + Conventions, said.
She added: “From neighborhood gems to world-class destinations, this program is a reminder of what makes dining out in NYC so special; flavor, culture, and the joy of discovering a new spot on a summer evening, all at an incredible value.”
Restaurants will have the option to extend their Restaurant Week offerings for an additional two weeks, through September 2.
Diners can use the event’s website to browse participating restaurants by filters like cuisine, borough, neighborhood, accessibility, meal type, weeks participating, and whether a menu is available.
In honor of the city’s 400th anniversary, a new “Founded By NYC” filter highlights restaurants offering special dishes or drinks—either a signature item, a dish that originated in New York City, or a $16.25 special paying tribute to the year the city was founded.
Browse curated collections by interest, including “Classic Restaurants,” “Summer Vibes,” “Dress for the Occasion,” “Best of the Boroughs,” “Hidden Gems,” “Date Night,” “Celebrity Chefs,” and “For the Foodies.”
