Booking travel to New York City during January, February and March means that travellers can take advantage of restaurant and theatre savings, as well as lower hotel room rates.

The winter is an ideal time to experience New York City at a more affordable price. It's a slower time for tourism, which make it a perfect time to visit.

NYC Restaurant Week will return this winter February 16–March 6 with reservations opening on February 2. During Broadway Week (January 20–February 5; tickets on sale January 9) and Off-Broadway Week (February 23–March 8; tickets on sale February 9), visitors and New Yorkers can enjoy two-for-one tickets to nearly all theatrical productions.

January and February boast the lowest average daily hotel room rate—typically 40 per cent lower than the average, which gives New Yorkers and visitors a chance to save on their hotel stay.

In its 23rd year, NYC Restaurant Week is the first and largest dining program of its kind. The event offers New Yorkers and visitors three-course prix-fixe lunches for $25 and three-course prix-fixe dinners for $38 (excluding beverages, gratuities and taxes). In the ninth season of Broadway Week and the eleventh season of Off-Broadway Week, the two programs have also become popular events, offering two-for-one tickets to popular theatrical productions.
