Perfect for our post-holidays bank accounts, Restaurant Week makes it possible to have a Michelin-starred meal on the cheap.

The twice-annual phenomenon of Restaurant Week is upon us, here in NYC. It starts today and runs through Friday, February 9, so it is, in fact, actually closer to three weeks. During this time, participating restaurants—and there are nearly 400 this time around—offer three-course lunches for $29 and three-course dinners for $42 (not including drinks, tax, or gratuity).
That’s a lot of possibilities to wade through as you figure out where to make a reservation. One way to decide: Head for the places anointed with stars by the Michelin Guide, which issues them to places it deems exceptional.
We’re not lucky enough to have any three- or two-starred places participating this time around, but nine restaurants that hold one star are. To be sure, you likely won’t get the “full” Michelin-starred experience—most restaurants offer a limited menu for Restaurant Week diners, generally three apps, three mains, and two desserts, so maybe don’t get your hopes up for a particular dish a restaurant might be known for. Also, many participate during lunchtimes only; it’s worth double-checking each restaurant’s website or the official Restaurant Week site to confirm details. In any case, it’s a spectacular deal and a great way to enjoy a Michelin-starred restaurant on the cheap.
