NYC Restaurant Week goes back to 1992, when it was created by Tim Zagat and Joe Baum. Since then, it has been occurring twice per year in both NYC and in cities throughout the country (outside of 2020). Since its inception, Restaurant Week has grown wildly in popularity and participation, and has been a popular draw for diners who want to get a taste of upscale restaurants without paying hefty price tags.

W always liked to try out new restaurants during Restaurant Week in the Summer and Winter. And is some cases we would continue going to restaurants we liked and wanted to continue eating at during regular times of the year. But this year and for the first time, I have not seen any sample menus of what restaurants will be offering during Restaurant Week. Why should people go to sample a restaurant when they do not have a clue as what is being offered there?
