History
Restaurant Week began as a lunch-only promotional event in 1992 and is considered the first "restaurant week".
NYC Restaurant Week Winter 2010 was held from January 25 to February 7 with Saturdays excluded. It was subsequently extended through February 28 with offers not valid on Valentine's Day. Prices were set at $24.07 for a three-course lunch, and $35 for dinner. Prices do not include drinks, taxes, and tips.
Restaurant Week Summer 2010 was held from July 12 to July 25 with the same prices and restrictions. Not all restaurants featured the restaurant week menu on all days or meals, with some only open for lunch and others only open on weekdays.
In Summer 2012 restaurant week was held from July 16 to August 10 with Saturdays excluded. Prices were retained at the 2010 level and have been maintained at that level since 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“We are told that men protect us; that they are generous, even chivalric in their protection. Gentlemen, if your protectors were women, and they took all your property and your children, and paid you half as much for your work, though as well or better done than your own, would you think much of the chivalry which permitted you to sit in street-cars and picked up your pocket- handkerchief?”
—Mary B. Clay, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
