The event is sponsored by Discover Queens of the Queens Economic Development Corporation. The participating restaurants will offer a three-course lunch and/or dinner special or equivalent for roughly $25 (tax and gratuity not included). Some restaurants offer a deal for two persons, others for one. Call the restaurant to confirm the deal.
    Restaurants in 2008 Queens Restaurant Week as of September 1, 2008

The list for 2008 is at 64 and still growing. The participating restaurants are varied, reflecting Queens' culinary diversity, and ranged from well-known stars, like Tournesol (inventive French in LIC), to unknowns and oddities like the local diner Ridgewood Eats.

Call ahead to the restaurants for reservations, but also to make sure they offer the special for the meal you want. Most offer it for dinner, some only for lunch, some for two people, others one. Call the restaurant and ask to get the latest info.
