12 Astoria, LIC Eateries Join NYC Restaurant Week: Here's Where
ASTORIA, QUEENS — Astorians can soon eat away their winter doldrums at a discount.
This year's first Restaurant Week, which opened reservations on Tuesday, includes 12 restaurants around Astoria and Long Island City (on par with the neighborhood's showing during last summer's event).
The deals-oriented event includes two-course lunches for $29 per-person, and three-course dinners for $39 apiece at participating restaurants. If you want to splurge, some restaurants will offer pricier $59 dinners.
And, despite its name, Restaurant Week will run for about a month, from Jan. 18 to Feb. 13.
The event's website describes Restaurant Week as "your chance to try it all in the most vibrant dining scene in the world," but — as in years past — Queens has a paltry showing in this year's event: only 22 of the 470 participating restaurant are in the World's Borough (which is known fro cooking up some of the city's best food). A whopping 80 percent of the eateries, by contrast, are in Manhattan.
Still, more than half of Queens' deals are in the borough's northwest neighborhoods, and those willing to travel a little further can also find Restaurant Week deals in Sunnyside, Jackson Heights, Forest Hills, Woodhaven, and The Rockaways.
Here are the Astoria and Long Island City restaurants that will participate (make reservations at them here):
Bareburger
Meet the Meat
Vite Vinosteria
Adda
Hutch Astoria
De Mole Astoria
Anassa Taverna
Burger Village
Addy's Barbeque
Sac's Place
Fresco's Cantina
Selo Restaurant
Diners participating in Restaurant Week, which coincides with the city's latest omicron-induced coronavirus wave, need to be vaccinated in order to eat indoors (per the city's indoor vaccine mandate).
