New York’s Restaurant ‘Week’: Now a Money-Saving Misnomer

Travel Blog  •  Eva Holland  •  02.04.09 | 9:58 AM ET

New York’s famous restaurant week—that heady few days in late January when Manhattan’s priciest meals become, er, somewhat less pricey—has been extended through to the end of February, making it more like Restaurant Month-and-a-Half. Semantics aside, though, we’ll take it. This is a great chance for more budget-conscious travelers to see the way the other side eats. So step out of the queue at Sbarro, book now at one of 150 restaurants, and you’ll land a three-course fixed-menu lunch for around $25 or an equivalent dinner for $35. (Via NewYorkology)

I participate in restaurant week in Annapolis, Baltimore and DC.  It’s a great way to test new or expensive restaurants reasonably.  Be sure to sign up early, the seats fill fast.  I use OPENTABLE.COm to do so.  I used to sign up for all the 4 $ restaurants, but after I while I realized that I like what I like and just frequented my favorites. 

By the way, does anyone have the link for the guy who applied for numerous credit cards to get frequent flyer miles?
