NYC Restaurant Week 2025: The Complete Guide

Attention food enthusiasts: NYC Restaurant Week is back, meaning you can look forward to enjoying cheap meals all over the city. Thousands of travelers and locals look forward to this event every year because it’s a great opportunity to try new cuisines or simply enjoy top-notch meals at decent prices.

My tip: NYC Broadway Week and NYC Must-See Week take place at the same time as NYC Restaurant Week. 

What is NYC Restaurant Week?

NYC Restaurant Week is a bi-annual event that takes place every summer and winter since 1982. Back then only a few restaurants participated in the promotion, whereas this year’s event counts over 500 participating restaurants. Over time, the length of the promotion has been extended, so that now we can enjoy almost a full month of great, affordable food instead of just one week.

When is NYC Restaurant Week?

The NYC Restaurant Week event takes place every summer and every winter in New York, typically in January/February as well as July/August.

This year the NYC Summer Restaurant Week will take place from July 21 to August 17, 2025! 

From July 15, 2025, you can make your reservations at the restaurants.
