For the duration of the programme, from July 18 to August 21, diners can select from a variety of two-course lunches and three-course dinner for USD 30, USD 45 or USD 60, depending on the price ranges of the respective restaurants. The establishment of this pricing structure ensures that eateries from all five boroughs, from casual diners to upscale dining establishments, can participate.
