Luckily, we've have thumbed through the list and highlighted the top options to snag that reservation. And if you are still looking for more, we have a guide of must visit places, specific to Brooklyn. Check out the best places to visit and everything to order during NYC Restaurant Week this winter.
Updated January 21: We added information for deals at Alice and Time & Tide.
"Top Chef" winner Danny Garcia is steering the ship at Time & Tide, the latest from Kent Hospitality. Billed as a steakhouse for seafood, the restaurant channels the summers spent on Long Island.
Our prix fixe pick: Pick the Crab Tagliatelle for an entree and follow up with the Olive Oil Cake, set to feed two, for dessert.
The latest from Wilson Tang, Cha Cha Tang blends New York and Hong Kong Cantonese cuisine. Think siu mai and crispy turnip cakes sitting alongside the Bacon & Egg Pearl Noodles, aka their riff on beef chow fun.
Our prix fixe pick: Sweet & Sour Siu Mai with pineapple salsa. Opt for the wine pairing (an extra $25 more) for a little vino with your dumplings.
Attractively appointed and anchored by a fantastic fresco familiar to diners all over NYC, Baar Baar contemporary Indian restaurant’s everyday offerings include dahi puri, tandoor-smoked pork belly, and swordfish tikka, in addition to items prepared by its frequent guest chefs.
Pre fixe offering: $45 dinner; $45 Sunday dinner
This is about as fine dining-adjacent as Restaurant Week gets, it is literally adjacent to the super-fancy Modern after all. The Bar Room’s caviar hot dogs typically run at $38, so this week is a steal.
Pre fixe offering: $45 lunch; $60 Sunday brunch/lunch; $60 dinner; $60 Sunday dinner
Housed in the stellar landmark Art Deco tower, 70 Pine Street, Crown Shy is a collaborative effort between the late great James Kent (NoMad, Eleven Madison Park) and Jeff Katz (former general manager at Del Posto). Driven by the seasons, Crown Shy is rooted in European technique but draws inspiration from around the world
Our prix fixe pick: Branzino with squash mole for $60 at dinner.
Alice has been bringing a moody, mysterious vibe to Greenwich Village since day one. Taking notes from the Italian coast, Alice offers a raw bar, langoustines and fritto misto.
Our prix fixe pick: Brunch calls for Truffle Arancini.
One of New York's oldest steakhouse is Delmonico's. In business since 1837, the grand steakhouse made its return in 2023 after a multi-year closure. But even still, it is as grand as ever.
Our prix fixe pick: Restaurant Week's supplements are seldom worth the extra cost, but $29 more for the titular signature steak here is the rare exception.
Participating in Restaurant Week for the first time is The Tusk Bar. Dine on a small plate-focused menu by culinary partners Jeremiah Stone and Fabian von Hauske, including Chickpea Fritter “Gildas” and a Mandarin & Vanilla Creamsicle Pavlova.
Our prix fixe pick: Tack on the trio of mini cocktails for $30 more.
One of New York City’s best restaurants, Gramercy Tavern’s experiences are divided in two: the casual tavern section up front and the dining room in the back. Each are a treat, and it's unique to offer Restaurant Week in the typically more expensive latter, where a five-course dinner is $175.
Pre fixe offering: $60 lunch; $60 Sunday brunch/lunch
If Bemelmans, one of the best bars in NYC, is still too much of ‘a thing’ at the moment, consider Dowling’s, also at The Carlyle hotel. The newer of the two, which opened in 2021, is pretty fancy and chic in its own right.
Pre fixe offering: $45 lunch; $60 dinner
The green environs are reason enough to make a visit to Fandi Mata. But chef Javier Vazquez Mariño’s eclectic Mediterranean fare is enough to keep you coming back.
Our prix fixe pick: Soppressat Pizza with spicy cured pork and chile honey at dinner for $60.
Fabulous Fish Cheeks Thai restaurant has been a Time Out New York favorite since it first opened in Noho in 2016. It’s no stranger to specials, both as a repeat Restaurant Week listee, and at its daily happy hour from noon to 6pm.
Pre fixe offering: $45 lunch; $60 dinner
Among limestone-clad building environs is Francie. The Michelin-rated restaurant pulls from both France and Italy, all of it coming together in the luxurious open kitchen.
Our prix fixe pick: Rigatoni with hot Italian duck sausage.
Four Twenty Five is a gastronomic haven from chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and culinary director Jonathan Benno. The elevated menu matches the architectural marvel, with warm, hand-finished woods and carefully curated art pieces.
Prix fixe offering: $60 lunch
What we said about this Tribeca restaurant in 2018 still rings true to this day, "Everyone wants a taste of Frenchette." The inaugural solo project of chefs Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson, the modern Parisian brasserie drives home French classics in a more refined setting.
Prix fixe offerings: $45 lunch; $60 dinner
The East River and bridge views from The Fulton’s two dining levels are breathtaking even to longtime locals who’ve seen ‘em all. The restaurant's specialty is seafood, and lots and lots of it.
Our prix fixe pick: $45 lunch; $60 dinner; $60 Sunday dinner
The restaurant by the same famed name at this historic address was among the first to join the event back in 1992. Move your reservation-clicking finger right away (or try your luck as a pop-in), or you might have to wait another 32 years for lunch and dinner deals at one of 2021’s best new restaurants.
Our prix fixe pick: $45 lunch; $45 Sunday lunch/brunch
It is not every day that one of NYC’s best vegetarian restaurants offers deals for multiple days, but that’s why NYC Restaurant Week is such a celebratory time of year. HanGawi’s largely plant-based menu changes seasonally, so expect something fresh this season.
Pre fixe offering: $60 dinner; $60 Sunday dinner
Marcus Samuelsson's Hav & Mar bridges his Ethiopian and Swedish upbringing. At the helm, chef Fariyal Abdullahi masters the seafood-centric menu with Ethiopian variations of her own, evident in the bread basket scattered with teff and injera and seared char with berbere oil.
Our prix fixe pick: The first course calls for the berbere-cured salmon with apple water and avocado for $60 at dinner.
The retro yacht interior at this sexy subterranean restaurant might make you forget you’re docked in Soho. Dishes that have become rote at so many fish-focused eateries—seared yellowtail glazed in dashi, a lobster roll stuffed with sweet meat—are executed here with the dazzling skill usually reserved for more ambitious menus.
Our prix fixe pick: For a seafood feast in one, order the Lobster Fra Diavolo with squid ink tagilatelle, shrimp, calamari and spicy tomato.
Mediterranean restaurant Iris opened its sprawling space in midtown in 2021. The critically acclaimed, beach-y, beige spot makes a mean eggplant moussaka, fried lamb’s tongue and branzino.
Our prix fixe pick: The spiced lamb flatbread, branzino filet and the pistachio baklava for $60 at dinner.
From restaurateur Salil Mehta (Laut, Wau, Kebab aur Sharab) and chef Dipesh Shinde (who opened the latter with Mehta in 2022) comes Kanyakumari. The menu follows the journey from Mumbai to Kanyakumari, picking up goat biryani from Bangalore to saucy clams from Goa along the way.
Our prix fixe pick: The steamed Prawns Gassi for $60 at dinner.
Lore's Michelin Bib Gourmand status gives us more than enough reason to check out this neighborhood restaurant in Prospect Heights. Here, chef Jay Kumar balances his Indian offerings with picks from his world-class travels from the reaches of London to Switzerland.
Our prix fixe pick: The Lamb Chapli Kebab with tangy black lime yogurt and a castelvetrano olive tapenade

Japanese and Italian come together at Kimika. Chef Christine Lau balances both worlds here, found in porchetta with miso mustard and dry-aged ribeye with sesame ponzu.
Our prix fixe pick: The mochi bomboloncini is a perfect end to any dinner, priced at $45.
Celebrity chef Daniel Boulud's Le Gratin was another one of 2022's best new restaurants. Its lovely space is equally well-suited to workday lunches and romantic dinners, and it's serving both with selections from its Lyonnais-inspired menus this Restaurant Week.
Pre fixe offering: $45 lunch; $60 dinner

Pre fixe offering: $60 dinner
This truly beautiful viewstaurant soars among the best of them, held high above FiDi. A Manhattan in hand at Manhatta? We couldn't get more New York if we tried.
Out prix fixe pick: The hamachi crudo, American Wagyu with smoked tomato and chocolate sabayon tart with a crispy feuilletine for $60 at lunch.
One of our most-ordered menu items for all of 2023, Shan's Chongqing chicken is on the Smith Street Szechuan spot's menu this Restaurant Week.
