New York City Restaurant Week (Month!) -- July 10-August 16

It's that time of the summer - steamy, hazy, way too hot to cook at home.  The perfect time to try out some of the city's best restaurants at a discount.  It's Summer Restaurant Week in New York City.  From July 10 - August 16, you can have lunch for $24.07 or dinner for $35 and enjoy an exceptional meal.  If you have an American Express card, register it, use it, and get a $20 credit on your statement if you dine out at four restaurants during this special promotion.  By my count, it actually lasts more than a month, so why call it Restaurant Week?
