NYC Restaurant Week
For four weeks in July and August, some of the city's finest eateries will offer prix-fixe lunches for around $24, while selected restaurants will also offer dinners for $35. Reservations for this foodie favorite event can be made online starting July 8th.
Andy Pry, Eli Escobar, and Lloydski’s afternoon-into-night bash was named a "Reason to Love NY" by New York magazine last year. This year they're at three locations: their Roberta's home base, the industrial-chic Knockdown Center in Ridgewood (with food and drinks by Roberta's), and (maybe best of all) at the beach, at the Rippers concession stand in Rockaway.
