The folks over at Village Voice LOVE to put out “10 Best” lists for just about every conceivable category you can think of. Last summer, the UWS nabbed five of their top ten picks for “Best Pastry Shops In NYC.” In the fall, the neighborhood snagged six spots on the 2012 “Best Of NYC” list [...]

If you’ve been meaning to check out any of the more than two dozen Upper West Side restaurants participating in Winter Restaurant Week, now is the time. The bi-annual event offering discounted eats at well known restaurants enters its final week today, with the deals ending on Friday (2/8). Here’s the complete list of participating [...]

Mentioned last Monday that reservations were being taken for 2013 Winter Restaurant Week. Just a quick reminder that the actual eating begins today.

On Tuesday I posted a dinning guide to the UWS that Serious Eats put together with acclaimed chef (and Upper West Sider) Bill Telepan. Chef Telepan’s pick for his favorite burger in the neighborhood was Island Burgers & Shakes, which opened their UWS location at 422 Amsterdam (between 80th & 81st) just after Labor Day [...]

Serious Eats regularly posts neighborhood dining guides based on the favorite spots of well-known/respected food and restaurant biz types from around NYC. Previous UWS guides include Chef Michael White (James Beard Award recipient and top restaurateur,) and Mandy Oser (owner of popular Hell’s Kitchen wine bar Ardesia and former Business Manager and Head of Strategic Partnerships [...]

Mentioned yesterday that tonight is the annual “Fashion’s Night Out” event that marks the beginning of Fashion Week in New York. To celebrate, the Lincoln Square Business Improvement District has once again organized “Fashion Place Prix Fixe.” Two dozen restaurants located in and around Lincoln Center (where Fashion Week is taking place) are participating with [...]

Post last month (and in all the daily “Free & Cheap UWS Events” posts since) that Restaurant Week/NYC Go Prix Fixe has been extended. If you’ve been meaning to sample the goods at participating restaurants, you have until Monday night to do so.

Extending “Restaurant Week” beyond its initial end date has become an unofficial tradition of sorts, and this year is no exception. While officially slated to end last Friday (8/10), dining deals are now available at many restaurants through Labor Day, including more than a dozen on the Upper West Side.

Mentioned last Monday that reservations were being taken for 2012 Summer Restaurant Week. Just a reminder that the actual eating begins today.
