Tools

search_restaurants

Filter all 612 participants by cuisine, borough, neighborhood, price tier, meal, program week, exact date, curated collection, or free text. Paginated.

Full detail on one spot: every prix-fixe offer, participating weeks, the Restaurant Week menu PDF, website, and a direct OpenTable reservation link.

check_date

Give it a date and it tells you if Restaurant Week is on, which program week it is, and the Saturday/Sunday rules that apply.

list_filters

Every cuisine, neighborhood, collection, and price tier with live participant counts — so your AI never guesses at filter values.
