For what to wear to Restaurant Week, we love the simplicity of shirt dress for a put together city-chic look. Whether you are catching the Jitney in from out east to have lunch with friends, splurging on your co-workers, or enjoying a romantic rendezvous, this collection of summer shirt dresses makes summer dressing for the city a easy-peasy. We chose an assortment in black and white – so crisp for city. The bags are updated classics – Tom Ford designed a perfect top-handled bag while Cult Gaia adds a little whimsy. Roger Vivier “City Slings” also come in black and are so perfectly styled – I take mine to my shoe guy to put a layer of rubber on the bottom which makes such a difference when walking city streets. Chan Luu earrings complement the elegant ensemble. Happy Shopping!

Tips for NYC Restaurant Week
Here’s the inside scoop on the best ways to enjoy the program’s gourmet goodness:
1. Score a top table
If you are having trouble getting a table at one of the City’s popular restaurants, try booking for lunch. Many sought-after eateries participate in the program only for the midday meal. Alternatively, make a reservation for Sunday night, when there’s usually more availability—and when many restaurants still serve their NYC Restaurant Week menus. (Check in advance.)
2. Check your calendar
Come back for seconds. Many diners reserve tables only during the first five days of the program, but NYC Restaurant Week is a month-long program, leaving many opportunities to return to restaurants you loved after sampling many.
3. Know before you go
See what’s on offer in advance at nycgo.com/restaurantweek—the only website to feature a comprehensive list of NYC Restaurant Week menus. That way you can find out if your favorite dishes are available or whet your appetite for something new.
4. Explore new cuisines
Every NYC Restaurant Week is a chance to expand your palate with a novel cuisine. The participating restaurants serve up excellent dishes from around the globe—a delicious way to experience the City’s famous diversity.
5. Enjoy an alfresco meal
Narrowing down your dining options can be difficult. One sure bet for hot summer nights is a meal outdoors. From sidewalks to rooftops, now is the season to enjoy your meal with a side of fresh air and city views.
6. Drink it all in
Thirsty? Some restaurants pair beverages—wine, specialty cocktails and the like—with their meals, typically for around $15–$25 extra. It’s one more way to make an evening memorable and enjoyable, especially while dining in a group.
7. Let Instagram be your guide
Check #nycrestaurantweek on Instagram to see what dishes and restaurants are trending. Quick tip: Search the location tags of participating restaurants to see what looks delicious before you book. When you dine, post your own photos and tag them with #nycrestaurantweek!
