Queens Restaurant Week Details

A few weeks ago, I gave you a little preview that Queens Restaurant Week was coming, but we didn't yet have the full list of participating restaurants.  Well, the list is now complete and I'd like to share it with you all, paying special attention to the myriad Astoria and LIC restaurants that are gracing the list.  I've starred some of my particular favorites, so please take note and enjoy.

Queens Restaurant Week - September 19 - 22, September 26 -29
During this time, restaurants will be featuring special prix-fixe menus, which usually consist of a 3-course meal for $25.  Great deal...and one that lets you try a lot of different places that may be new to you.

Queens Restaurant Week is Back

It's almost that time of year again when Queens Restaurant Week returns with a slew of amazing restaurant options for just $25 per person.  Yep...it's $10 cheaper than NYC Restaurant Week, which has been extended until Labor Day. 

Last year, I took advantage of it by visiting Woodside's culinary gem, Sapori d'Ischia, where we indulged in so many authentic Italian specialties at such a competitive price that it made it truly worthwhile.  I hope this year's offering promises to be just as fruitful.

The list of participating restaurants is not up yet, but you can follow Discover Queens on Facebook to get the latest scoop.
