NYC Restaurant Week is back — here’s how to get up to $100 off with a Mastercard

Editor's note: This story has been updated with the latest information for NYC Restaurant Week 2022.

It's back and better than ever. New York City visitors and locals alike can once again partake in the now-classic event that is NYC Restaurant Week.

The 2022 winter iteration will run from Jan. 18 through Feb. 13, providing ample time to sample some of NYC's best culinary delights -- while saving some money to boot.

Foodies can take advantage of discounted pricing, with a trio of options ($29, $39, $59) for a prix-fixe meal at over 400 NYC restaurants across all five boroughs.

But the deal gets even sweeter if you choose to pay with a Mastercard. You’ll receive a $10 statement credit for each transaction of $39 or more, up to $100 back. That means you can score a two-course meal for as little as $29 from a variety of top restaurants across the city, up to ten times.

To enjoy this tasty deal, you first have to pre-register your Mastercard. Simply enter your name, card information and check a few boxes. Once you’ve registered your card, you browse through NYCGo's official Restaurant Week page to search for a dining venue and make a reservation.

Make sure to pay with the same Mastercard you pre-registered with and the statement credit should kick in within five days of the purchase.

Similar to previous offers, each establishment has a specific menu for NYC Restaurant Week. With several hundred spots to choose from, you have no shortage of options.

If you’re like us, you know that this deal can get you more than just a $10 Mastercard statement credit. For instance, the Citi Premier® Card earns 3x ThankYou points per $1 spent at restaurants and is offering a sign-up offer of 80,000 ThankYou Rewards points after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening. The Chase Freedom Flex is another great Mastercard option. It has no annual fee and 3x earnings at restaurants.
