Updated for 2020 – WHILE THE HOLIDAYS HAVE COME AND GONE, THERE STILL IS PLENTY TO DO IN AND AROUND NY AND RELYING ON GOOD TRANSPORTATION IS A MUST! KICK OFF RESTAURANT WEEK THE RIGHT WAY BY HIRING A NEW YORK CAR SERVICE TO ESCORT YOU TO SOME OF THE BEST DEALS IN TOWN.
January in New York City is one of the calmest times of the year. But calm doesn’t mean nothing is happening. Restaurant Week is 1/21 – 2/9, and foodies will take this opportunity to indulge. Don’t let these frigid temps keep you from experiencing some fantastic food. We’ve listed three ways to ensure all goes without a hitch during Restaurant Week via a New York car service.
1. HIRE A RELIABLE NEW YORK LIMO SERVICE
New Yorkers often choose to enjoy their January by dining at many of the participating restaurants during this winter’s NYC Restaurant Week. Restaurant Week provides access to some of the city’s best and exclusive dining sites. Participating restaurants charge $26 for a 2-course lunch and $42 for a 3-course dinner. The money saved on this affordable night out can top-off the experience with a professional New York car service.
Licensed chauffeurs from a professional limousine service will ensure that you get to your reservation promptly. Delux Transportation’s drivers are experienced in the New York City and broader Tri-State areas. A Delux chauffeur understands the most efficient routes and will suggest an appropriate pickup time when traffic conditions change.
Many restaurants tie drinks into their Restaurant Week menu as well. Reliable chauffeurs will provide a safer door-to-door transportation option compared to ride-hailing services, taxis, or driving home yourself.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” image=”5166″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” image=”5157″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” image=”5234″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
2. Do Your Homework and Read Reviews
The New York City Restaurant Week website provides a full list of participating restaurants. It also allows you to sort restaurants by location, cuisine, and collections like “NYC Classics.” Take advantage of the site to check out each menu to see if the food options fit your palate. And remember that the Prix fixe Restaurant Week menu is a more limited version of the full restaurant menus. Be sure to reference reputable review websites like Yelp and Zagat to get the public and critic’s perspective.
3. Book Your Reservations As Soon As Possible
It is important to remember that some patrons have Restaurant Week circled on their calendar every six months. It is a significant event for the mainstream public and especially for the growing “foodie culture” in New York. This is why we suggest visiting the Restaurant Week website to book your reservations as soon as possible. The website makes it easy by connecting you directly to OpenTable. According to the official Restaurant Week website, reservations open on January 8th.
CHECK-IN WITH THE RESTAURANT
The thrill and urgency of booking a restaurant week reservation early may certainly be exciting at first. But in the lead up to your reservation date, many restaurant-goers may forget their reservation, have a change in plans, or lose interest altogether. This opens up many possibilities for persistent foodies. Call a highly sought-after restaurant and ask if they have any cancellations. If you do get lucky, you’ll be needing a ride. Reserve transportation with a reputable New York car service. Similarly, if you know you need to cancel a restaurant reservation, please do so. You may make someone’s lucky day.
FUN FACT:
New York Restaurant Week was founded as the world’s first-ever Restaurant Week. In 1992, ninety-five restaurants participated in a singular culinary event built for attendees of the Democratic National Convention. The restaurants came to a decision to keep Restaurant Week “on the menu” when they received an influx of New York City native dinners.
With the full list of participating restaurants debuting this week, we can now reveal two of our favorite choices for 2020 Restaurant Week.
TEMPLE COURT
Legendary celebrity chef and restaurateur Tom Colicchio made his mark all over Manhattan. Temple Court is his best effort at seamlessly blending both the historic and modern feel of lower Manhattan to produce a crowd-pleasing ambiance. Situated in the iconic Beekman Hotel, Temple Court’s design and traditional American cuisine offer a quintessential New York experience. Loved ones, friends, and particularly tourists also won’t mind the highly-rated Berkshire Pork Chop or Venison Wellington. Make sure to reserve an experienced NYC limousine service to navigate traffic and arrive on time to your reservation.
PIG AND KHAO
It’s no secret why Pig and Khao have become a critically acclaimed part of the Lower East Side’s culinary scene. The exceptional service, lively atmosphere, and deft soul food touch on a Southeast Asian menu is a go-to option for groups and celebrations. Diners who expect a replica to David Chang’s Momofuku will be intrigued by former Top Chef contestant Leah Cohen’s unique take on Thai and Filipino classics. Popular dishes include whole fried fish with chuu chee curry, pork belly adobo with Szechuan peppercorns, and green papaya salad.
Delux Transportation’s NYC Limousine Service offers a fleet of late-model vehicles for large and small groups so finding the perfect vehicle will not be difficult.
CONCLUSION
Even though January in NYC is somewhat recovering from the chaos of the holidays, the city does not slow down. It’s business as always, and there are some great deals to be had during New York Restaurant Week.
Getting there has never been easier with a professional black car service. So if you’re traveling from out East, use Delux’s Long Island limo service. And as always, NY city dwellers can enjoy the convenience of Delux’s professional car service to deliver top-notch service.
