“New York City is a world-class culinary destination and our NYC Restaurant Week programme, which celebrated its 25th anniversary this past summer, exemplifies this ranking and welcomes all to come and experience it first-hand,” said Fred Dixon, President and CEO of NYC & Company.
“Whether you’re a visitor, meetings delegate or local resident, we invite diners to taste and explore New York City’s incomparable restaurant scene across all five boroughs at a value this winter.”
“NYC Restaurant Week was the first dining programme of its kind, and provides the restaurant industry with the opportunity to showcase the quality and hospitality that our establishments are renowned for,” said Tracy Nieporent, Partner and Director of marketing for Myriad Restaurant Group and chairman of NYC & Company’s Restaurant Committee. “The dining community looks forward to welcoming patrons to experience and enjoy a variety of diverse restaurants across more than 40 neighborhoods this winter.”

The ticketed events will highlight restaurants within cultural institutions and will offer exclusive tasting menus for guests. Ticket sales will benefit local charities City Harvest, Citymeals on Wheels and Food Bank NYC. Event details will be announced later this month. This season features 32 new restaurant participants
