About the course
What you'll learn
- How NYC Restaurant Week works — the dates, the price structure, the participating restaurants, and the booking strategy that gets you into the best kitchens rather than the ones with permanent availability
- Why Restaurant Week runs twice annually and how the winter and summer editions differ in terms of participating restaurants, value, and the practical experience of dining during the promotion
- How to identify the genuinely exceptional Restaurant Week offers from the formulaic ones — the specific signs that distinguish a kitchen treating the promotion as an opportunity from one treating it as an obligation
- What Smorgasburg offers season by season — how the menu changes from spring through autumn, which vendors have become permanent fixtures worth seeking out, and how to visit on both the Williamsburg and Prospect Park locations
- How the Union Square Greenmarket changes week by week through the year and which seasonal products — the September apple harvest, the December holiday specialities, the May strawberries — are worth timing a visit around
- What the city's major food festivals — the New York Food & Wine Festival, the Feast of San Gennaro in Little Italy, the West Indian American Day Carnival food culture in Brooklyn — each offer and how to access them
- How the city's restaurant scene shifts seasonally — the spring and autumn menu changes, the summer rooftop dining season, the winter tasting menu period when the city's best kitchens are at their most ambitious
- Which food-focused neighbourhood events — the Arthur Avenue Feast in the Bronx, the Chinatown street fairs, the Brooklyn Flea food vendors — offer the most authentic and rewarding eating experiences outside the formal restaurant circuit
