Reminder about Queens Restaurant Week

Pictured above: Winegasm's Molten Lava Cake

Tomorrow marks the beginning of Queens Restaurant Week, a two-week Monday-Thursday food event where restaurants from all parts of Queens offer lunch and dinner specials. At first, the offering was a $25/person prix-fixe lunch and a $35/person prix-fixe dinner but since it's initial announcement, price points have changed and each restaurant seems to be running their own variation.

Below you'll find Astoria's and LIC's participants. I've separated them into The Standards, The Deals and The Steals:
