NYC Restaurant Week and Broadway Week 2027: Your Winter Guide From Times Square
A Broadway show you’ve been meaning to see. A restaurant you’d usually save for a special occasion. A winter weekend in New York gives you time for both, with a few hours left for wandering Midtown and warming up over a drink.
NYC Restaurant Week and NYC Broadway Week bring dining and theater offers to the city during January and February. With Margaritaville Resort Times Square as your base, you can build a trip around a prix fixe meal and a performance, then return for a rooftop cocktail and a relaxed night above the city.
Here’s how the programs work, what we know so far about 2027 and how to put the pieces together.
NYC Winter Outing at a Glance

When Are NYC Restaurant Week and Broadway Week in 2027?
The winter 2027 dates for NYC Restaurant Week and NYC Broadway Week have not yet been announced. NYC Tourism usually confirms them in early January, and recent editions have started in the third week of January: winter 2025 ran January 21 to February 9, and winter 2026 ran January 20 to February 12.
Both weeks have run on the same dates in recent years, so one winter trip can usually cover both. Once the dates are confirmed, start with the show you most want to see, then reserve a Restaurant Week lunch or dinner around your performance.
Check the official Restaurant Week and Broadway Week pages for participating restaurants, shows and booking details.
How NYC Broadway Week Works
NYC Broadway Week offers promotional tickets to selected performances at participating Broadway shows. Previous editions have used a 2-for-1 offer, giving visitors a chance to make theater the centerpiece of a winter trip. The 2027 ticket terms will be published with the new program.
How to Get Broadway Week Tickets
Start at the official NYC Broadway Week page, where you can browse participating productions and follow the booking links for each show.
Before paying, check the performance date, seating section, minimum ticket purchase and final total. Promotional availability can differ between performances, so compare a couple of dates if your plans are flexible.
Book the show you most want to see first, especially if you need several seats together. Then reserve dinner around the curtain time, leaving room to walk to the theater and get settled.
Which Shows Take Part?
The winter 2027 Broadway Week lineup has not yet been announced. Check the official list when sales open, as a show playing on Broadway is not automatically included in the promotion.
For a family visit, look at the production’s age guidance and running time alongside the ticket price. Couples and friends might choose a musical for a big night out or a play that leaves plenty to talk about afterward. First-time visitors can start with the kind of story or music they enjoy, then compare participating shows from there.

Walking to the Theaters From Times Square
Staying nearby makes it easier to enjoy the hours around the performance. You can head back to your room before dinner, leave the shopping bags behind and walk to the show without planning another journey across Manhattan.
Margaritaville Resort Times Square is approximately 0.6 miles, or around a 14-minute walk, from the heart of the Theater District. Individual theaters are spread across several Midtown blocks, so check your venue’s address when planning your route. Find out more about a stay near Broadway in Times Square.
How NYC Restaurant Week Works
NYC Restaurant Week gives you a set menu at a fixed price, making it easier to plan a meal around your budget. Recent editions have offered two-course lunches and three-course dinners at $30, $45 or $60, with prices and meal options varying by restaurant. Winter 2027 pricing is still to be confirmed.
Browse the official NYC Restaurant Week page for participating restaurants, menus and reservation links.
Read the menu before choosing a table. A restaurant might offer the promotion at lunch, dinner or selected meals, and its Restaurant Week dishes may differ from the regular menu. Under previous program guidelines, beverages, tax and gratuity were additional unless stated otherwise, and Saturdays were excluded from the official promotion. Check each restaurant’s 2027 listing for eligible days, including Sunday availability.
Restaurant Week Near Times Square and the Theater District
The 2027 restaurant list has not yet been released. Once it is available, start with Midtown and Hell’s Kitchen if you want to combine dinner with a show.
Choose your theater first, then look for a restaurant along a comfortable walking route. A table near Times Square may work well for one production, while somewhere farther north or west could suit another.
When reserving, mention that you have theater tickets and check that your chosen dining time allows for the full meal. An earlier reservation gives you more room to enjoy dessert without watching the clock.
For a separate pre-show dining option, Margaritaville Restaurant & Tiki Bar offers a convenient meal at the resort before you head out. It is an alternative to your Restaurant Week booking, with its own menu and pricing.
Pair a Prix Fixe Lunch With a Matinee
Lunch followed by a matinee is a good option if you prefer to keep the evening open. Choose a performance first, then book an early lunch nearby with enough time for the meal and theater entry.
A Wednesday can be worth considering if your selected show has a matinee and your restaurant offers the weekday promotion. For a Sunday performance, confirm that the restaurant’s Restaurant Week menu is available that day. Saturday dining should be budgeted separately unless the restaurant advertises its own offer.
A Winter Weekend Built Around Both Weeks
Once the dates are announced, use this two-night itinerary as a starting point. Keep the show and your main restaurant reservation fixed, with the rest of the weekend left open for exploring.
Friday: Settle In and Head Out for Dinner
Arrive, check in and give yourself time to unpack before your Restaurant Week dinner. Afterward, return to the resort for a skyline cocktail at 5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar, with your room an elevator ride away.
Saturday: Explore Midtown Before the Show
Start with coffee and a walk through Bryant Park, adding skating if the rink is operating during your visit. Check the official Winter Village page for seasonal dates and reservations. Build the afternoon or evening around your Broadway Week performance, leaving time for a meal before the curtain and a relaxed walk back afterward.
Sunday: Fit In One More New York Experience
Choose a museum, tour or attraction from the confirmed NYC Must-See Week list, allowing enough time before your journey home. If a participating restaurant offers Sunday lunch, make that your final reservation of the weekend.
