Sep 30 2009
Queens has its own Restaurant Week, the fourth annual Restaurant Week in Queens, this October 5 - 15, 2009. 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.
The list of participating restaurants is now available. Below is last year's roster to give you an idea.
The list for 2009 is at 75 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 relative unknowns like Pizza Classica in Glendale.
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.
