NYC Restaurant Week

Restaurant Week is a big deal in NYC, and it starts next week. If you're not familiar with it, it represents two weeks of so-called lower-priced meals by some of the top and most expensive restaurants in the city. These restaurants will offer a three-course meal for $24.07 (lunch) or $35 (dinner). Ordinarily, you'd probably be spending double. However, I still think it's a bit too pricy, because you've got to take into account a beverage + tax + tip.

So, if you don't want to shell out the above $$ amounts, but wish you could do some sampling, there is another option this time around, and that is the "NYC Restaurant Week Truck." This vehicle will carry a variety of soups from the top restaurants - each day a different selection. The parking space will be at different locations. If you are interested in the schedule + the menu, see the nycgo.com website and look up Restaurant Week. The cost of one of the exotic sounding soups is $6 and includes bread. Trying out the soup will give you a mini sampling of what high-end cuisine is all about, but won't hurt your budget so much. I will be going that route, if I can make the location. Happy Eating!
