New York City is blessed with thousands of fantastic restaurants. French, Italian, Japanese, Scandinavian, Chinese and American, it's all here and during Summer Restaurant Week (which actually stretches over two weeks) some of the very best offer three-course prix-fixe lunches and dinners at a fraction of the normal cost.
For 2011, the prices are fixed in accordance with New York's twenty four hour city reputation, so it's US$24.07 for a three-course lunch, while dinner is available from US$35.
And when we say top restaurants, we really mean it. From one of the city's finest French gastronomic experiences at Montrachet in Soho to a great American slap-up meal at Robert De Niro's hip downtown eaterie the Tribeca Grill, innovative new-style Japanese cooking at Nobu or a civilised lingering lunch at the Water Club with its dazzling river views, you are more than spoilt for choice.

The only thing we can say is, don't wait until the last minute. Both locals and visitors clamour to get a table at some of the city's best dining rooms, which normally charge at least quadruple the price. The full list of restaurants can be accessed at the New York Tourist Office website and tables can be booked one month in advance.
The ethereal Tribute in Light memorial was designed to help lessen the aching loss felt across the country since 9/11. It is a profound symbol of strength, hope and resiliency.
