Every summer NYC hosts a Restaurant Week (which usually starts the end of July and runs through August) There are at least 50 restaurants that offer a special 3-course prix fixe menus for $24.07 (lunch) and/or $35.00 (dinner). It is a great excuse to try out a new restaurant! Look for it next summer...

Lily, Where in Manhattan is this place?

This is an excellent place for brunch on the weekends. I highly recommend the churros with hot chocolate or any of the egg dishes. You can make reservations for weekend brunch since it's usually pretty crowded on the weekends. Location and info: http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/7109096/new_york_ny...

Reasonable price, great Rice, Bean, and Veggie plates. We go there every time we stay in midtown. http://newyork.citysearch.com/review/7143667
