NYC Restaurant Week - Jan 24 to Feb 6, 2011
Make your reservations now. NYC Restaurant Week is from Jan 24 to Feb 6th. Special menus, lunch is $24.07 and dinner $35.00 at participating restaurants.
Check first at the restaurant since many of the participating restaurants often already have a prix fixe deal that is in that price range. http://www.nycgo.com/restaurantweek/

I'm surprised to see L'Ecole on the list, given that the place is so cheap to begin with ($42 for a 4/5 course meal).
They appear to be one of the few places running their standard menu (as opposed to the usual dumbed-down Restaurant Week offering).

I think a lot of restaurants feel pressured to participate, because they don't want to be left out of the marketing blitz, even if they don't want to and even if it doesn't make sense for them to.

There are a couple of places where the choices are from the regular menu and you save a couple of bucks, but in most cases you are getting fish sticks at a restaurant that is known for lobster.
It's also Broadway week for the first time, with many shows offering two for one tickets.

Maybe at the places you go to.
I booked 2 reservations and will tell you where after the promo is over.
I can't imagine why anyone would go to a less expensive place, when you can go to a top restaurant (expensive) and really get good value.
Why go to a $40 place when you can eat at a hundred dollar place.
