NYC Restaurant Week Summer

NYC Summer Restaurant Week
July 22-August 18, 2024.

A three-course dinner at the best restaurants in New York for $45? Sign me up! One of my favorite times of the year. I love a good bargain almost as much as I love good food. It almost feels like you're stealing..only you're not.

What to Wear in NYC in August - New York Weather August

NYC in August is hot, hot, hot! Many locals are out of town, so the only other people in the city will be visitors and vacationers. You should be fine to dress as cool as possible, but also expect indoor air conditioning. The weather in NYC in August is fairly consistent day to night and the dress code is likely shorts, tanks/tees, sun dresses and open toe shoes. Historical July high/low temperatures are 81/66 (F) and 28/19 (C).
