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.

—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
