NYC & Company, the City’s official destination marketing organization, has announced details for NYC Restaurant Week summer 2018, now in its 26th year, and opened reservations for booking on NYCgo.com. Also announced was a new prix-fixe lunch offer with a two-course (appetizer and entrée) menu priced at $26.

• Receive two-course prix-fixe lunches for $26 and three-course prix-fixe dinners (with dessert) for $42**

“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 32 distinct cuisines participating in NYC Restaurant Week this summer,” said Fred Dixon. “We look forward to welcoming visitors, meetings delegates, and residents to enjoy new dining experiences in neighborhoods across all five boroughs this season.”
