Mid-winter in the city just got a lot less bleak with 5 p.m. sunsets returning this week, along with the start of NYC Restaurant Week from Jan. 20 to Feb. 12, including an array of delicious restaurants right here in Queens.
The bi-annual event highlights restaurants and cafes throughout the five boroughs with incredible specials and prix-fixe deals to give small businesses a much-needed boost when people tend to want to huddle up at home with bitter temperatures waiting outside, and letting customers indulge in a local favorite or explore somewhere new in the area with unreal deals and special menus during the nearly month-long promotion.
The world’s most diverse (and delicious) borough has no shortage of restaurants to explore, with over 28 eateries participating in the special event. From hidden gems in Forest Hills to upscale dining experiences in Long Island City, get ready to bring your appetite and indulge in cuisine from handmade pasta to delicately prepared omakase.
