Hutong

731 Lexington Ave., Midtown East, Manhattan
Luxuriate in contemporary Northern Chinese fare amid art deco opulence at Hutong, which offers prix fixe menus during NYC Restaurant Week that are lower than its normal prices. The $30 lunch and $60 dinner will wake up your taste buds with fiery flavors. Along with the chef’s dim sum selections and your choice of sides, dig into kung po prawns or sanchen chicken (a wok-fried dish with dried chiles). Pro tip: if you’re looking for an Instagram moment, strike a pose on the glam runway in the wine cellar.

Manhatta

28 Liberty St., Lower Manhattan
Elevate a standard weekday lunch with a sumptuous three-course meal and tasty cocktails at Manhatta. From the 60th-floor perch, you’ll have dazzling views of Manhattan, Brooklyn and the East River. Try their beef tartare with black sunchoke and Asian pear or their dry-aged beef burger—declared one of the City’s best—served with koji onion, Cooper sharp cheese and chips while you’re sitting on top of the world.

Soogil

108 E. 4th St., East Village, Manhattan
In 2024, Soogil achieved a prestigious milestone: earning one of South Korea’s highest honors for culinary excellence, an accolade shared by only 16 restaurants outside the country. Chef Soogil Lim, a protégé of Daniel Boulud, marries French fine dining with the intricate flavors of modern Korean cuisine. Typically, a three-course dinner starts at $75, but you can try Soogil’s world-class dishes for $60 during NYC Restaurant Week. Highlights include its signature beef tartare, kissed with the sweetness of Korean pear, along with a succulent duck entrée and a decadent dessert of your choice.

9 W. 53rd St., Midtown West, Manhattan
A feast for your eyes and palate awaits at the Bar Room at the Museum of Modern Art, a great place to unwind after exploring Midtown. Chef Thomas Allan’s seasonally inspired menu features artfully crafted cocktails and dishes, like pork belly with glazed squash and chicories and hand-cut tagliolini, parmesan and shaved black truffle. Customize your meal to suit your appetite and budget: Enjoy two courses for $45 or indulge in three courses for $60.

Cha Cha Tang

257 Sixth Ave., West Village, Manhattan
Cha Cha Tang, a recent addition to the West Village’s dining scene, is making its NYC Restaurant Week debut this winter. Executive chef Doron Wong’s Cantonese dishes are both comforting and revelatory. The steamed branzino with black beans, typically a $36 main course, is included on the $60 prix fixe dinner menu. Another standout that will convince you to share plates is the toothsome pearl noodles, studded with garlic chives and crispy bacon, then topped with a soft-boiled egg. For the three-course $45 brunch, finish up with the irresistible Hong Kong French toast, a revelation of sweet buttery crunch and warm apple compote.

Fish Cheeks

55 Bond St., Noho, Manhattan
Hailed as one of the City’s top Thai restaurants, Fish Cheeks never fails to impress with its addictive spicy dishes. The Manila clams pack some heat thanks to a dressing that includes chile jam and long red chiles, and the beloved zabb wings—fried with chile, lime and makrut lime leaf—will make your mouth water. Both dishes are part of the special prix fixe menu. And the restaurant’s budget-friendly happy hour, which runs from noon to 6pm, always offers oyster and drink specials.

Noreetuh

Noreetuh

128 First Ave., East Village, Manhattan
NYC Restaurant Week veterans know a secret: book early and often at Noreetuh. This well-loved gem excels at pairing nostalgic Hawaiian flavors with award-winning wines, and for $45 this winter, you can treat yourself to its three-course dinner. Helmed by co-owners chef Chung Chow and general manager Jin Ahn, both veterans of Per Se, Noreetuh rolls out special wine pairings to go with coveted classics like big-eye tuna poké with macadamia nuts or a garlic shrimp bowl that will transport you straight to the North Shore. One NYC Restaurant Week tradition here is a special upside-down pineapple cake for two, blissful layers of fluffy pound cake and sweet pineapple topped with ice cream.

Sizzling Steaks

The Clocktower

5 Madison Ave., Flatiron District, Manhattan
Immerse yourself in British charm and sophistication at The Clocktower. This restaurant, by renowned restaurateur Stephen Starr, is tucked into the second floor of the New York Edition hotel next to Madison Square Park. The Clocktower’s plush interiors will instantly charm you; there’s a purple billiards table for a friendly game or two and a bar made with 24-karat gold leaf, a luxe perch for sipping a cocktail. The three-course NYC Restaurant Week menu offers tastes like tartare with egg yolk jam to start, an entree of grilled hanger steak with mashed potatoes and broccolini, and warm sticky toffee pudding with crystallized pecans for the final course.

Gallaghers Steakhouse

228 W. 52nd St., Times Square/Theatre District, Manhattan
For $30, you can indulge in a glorious two-course steakhouse lunch with a side of NYC history at Gallaghers, which first opened as a speakeasy in 1927. Start with a classic Caesar salad, followed by sliced filet mignon with red wine sauce, all while being charmed by the iconic red banquettes and portraits of celebrities. Gallaghers was recently spotlighted by First We Feast alongside actor and long-time regular Bryan Cranston, who lauded not only the food but the comforting ambiance of the restaurant, with its dark-wood paneling, nostalgic décor and dry-aged steaks in the window.

Food at Hawksmoor Restaurant

Hawksmoor

109 E. 22nd St., Flatiron, Manhattan
Power up with a lunch of “Beef and Liberty” (as a sign inside reads) under the 26-foot-high ceilings of the historic United Charities Building. Hawksmoor is serious about sourcing its steaks from family farms while showcasing a new side of British cuisine. And you don’t have to wait for a special occasion to splurge; during NYC Restaurant Week, you can order a two-course lunch for $45. We are eyeing the perfectly tender steak paired with golden fries cooked in beef drippings or a charcoal-roasted butternut squash with mushrooms and whipped vegan ricotta.
