NYC Winter Restaurant Week in Queens, New York

Escape Manhattan for the Best View From Long Island City

By , About.com Guide

Two restaurants in Queens participate in NYC's Winter Restaurant Week: Water's Edge and Testaccio Ristorante, both in Long Island City. Enjoy three-course lunches for $24 and three-course dinners for $35 (beverage, tax, and tip additional). It's a great deal, especially for enjoying the amazing Manhattan skyline views from Water's Edge.
