Restaurant Week to offer early reservations via Twitter

NYC Restaurant Week will officially kick off July 12 with $24.07 three-course prix-fixe lunches and $35 dinners at some of the city’s best restaurants, including DBGB Kitchen and Bar, Le Cirque, Mesa Grill, Nobu, Craftbar, Tribeca Grill, Primehouse New York and Tabla.

Reservations will go live June 30, but Twitter users can expect early opportunities by following @nycgo, the Twitter feed for NYC & Company, New York City’s official marketing and tourism organization.

The first Restaurant Week tweet will go out today, followed by unique dining offers, last-minute reservation openings, and surprise chef appearances, an NYC&Co. spokesperson told NewYorkology.

Summer Restaurant Week will run from July 12 through 31, excluding Saturdays and only some restaurants will offer the prix-fixe deal on Sundays. The $24.07 lunch and $35 dollar dinner price does not include tax, tip or drinks.

(American Express will also offer its cardholders separate benefits for NYC Restaurant Week.)
