Get your chopsticks ready! New York City's Chinatown will host its own Restaurant Week, from March 9 to 18. Participating restaurants will offer a 10-day special prix fixe multi-course dinner at $18.88 per person (tax and gratuity not included).  Participating shops and merchants will offer individual promotions and sales.

"Our Chinatown community, Founding Participants, and Founding Community Supporters are thrilled to invite everyone home with us for Chinatown Restaurant Week. We believe the Restaurant Week dining and shopping deals are so exceptional that people will want to come to Chinatown as often as possible during Restaurant Week and visit Chinatown again in the future," said Chinatown Restaurant Week Executive Producer and Kaimen Company President Julie Huang.

Chinatown Restaurant Week Creative Director Bob Barnett said, "When it comes to food, we all speak Chinese. Chinatown Restaurant Week is perfect for first-timers and weekly regulars, for New Yorkers and tourists and everyone in the Tri-State region to come home to Chinatown with friends and family for the terrific food, shopping deals, and great times."
