Restaurant Week is back in New York City this summer, giving diners a chance to try prix-fixe menus at restaurants across the five boroughs.\n<\/p>\n

While many New Yorkers may be looking to snag a table at a buzzy spot in Manhattan or Brooklyn, the Bronx has its own lineup of under-the-radar restaurants that showcase the borough\u2019s food scene and the cultures that shape it, serving up everything from Caribbean favorites to vegan dishes.<\/p>\n

Only four Bronx restaurants are participating in this summer\u2019s Restaurant Week, the biannual program offering prix-fixe menus ranging from $30 to $60. More than 600 restaurants across the city are participating, making the Bronx\u2019s presence relatively small.<\/p>\n

Still, there\u2019s something for everyone, from Caribbean classics to vegan options. Here\u2019s what to expect at the Bronx restaurants participating in Restaurant Week.<\/p>\n

Where: 3114 Third Ave<\/p>\n

What: Caribbean cuisine\n<\/p>\n

Price: $30 lunch and $60 dinner\n<\/p>\n

Located in Woodstock, just minutes from the Hub, Flava of the Bronx<\/a> is serving Caribbean cuisine, from classics like West Indian curry goat to creative fusion dishes like tacos with Jamaican oxtail.<\/p>\n

When owner Harry Headlam got into the restaurant business in 1998, he saw an opportunity to bring Caribbean cuisine, like from his native Jamaica, to the South Bronx, where the market was primarily saturated with Latin American restaurants.<\/p>\n

He decided to open up Flava of the Bronx when he saw the Third Avenue storefront for sale and saw that he could expand business with a bar and lounge as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is Flava of the Bronx\u2019s third time participating in restaurant week, drawing new people in. Headlam said he\u2019s seen new customers, from all different backgrounds, trying out their food.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking for more to get people to come more, come out more to support Restaurant Week and Caribbean restaurants in general,\u201d Headlam said.\n<\/p>\n

\u201c[With] prices, you have to be very creative to stay to keep your doors open and come with different services that are able to actually have people interested in coming to your place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bronx Beer Hall<\/b>

Where: 2344 Arthur Ave<\/p>\n

What: Beer hall and dishes from local Arthur Ave restaurants\n<\/p>\n

Price: $30 lunch and $45 dinner.\n<\/p>\n

Tucked inside the Arthur Avenue Retail Market, Bronx Beer Hall<\/a> has been serving as a gathering place for Bronxites and visitors for more than a decade.<\/p>\n

Owners Anthony and Paul Ramirez first came up with the idea for the beer hall while running a pop-up shop for their Bronx-themed merchandise company, From the Bronx<\/a>, at the market in 2011. They noticed that people kept lingering in the space \u2014 even after the beer was gone \u2014 and saw an opportunity to create a communal spot where people could eat, drink and hang out.<\/p>\n

The Bronx Beer Hall opened in 2013 and has since made collaboration with other local businesses a central part of its identity. The restaurant doesn\u2019t have its own kitchen, instead partnering with nearby Arthur Avenue businesses to bring food into the beer hall.<\/p>\n

For Restaurant Week, its lunch and dinner menus highlight two of those partners: No Fork NYC, an Albanian-owned pizza and sandwich shop, and barbecue from Braisin\u2019 Hell.<\/p>\n

The lunch menu features No Fork\u2019s thin, sesame-crusted pizza, while the dinner menu focuses on Brazen Hell\u2019s barbecue, with customers able to choose an entr\u00e9e, two sides, craft beer or wine, and dessert.<\/p>\n

For the Ramirezes, Restaurant Week is about more than offering a one-time deal. They see it as a way to introduce new customers to the Bronx Beer Hall \u2014 and to the local businesses they partner with.<\/p>\n

The point of Restaurant Week is to get people to try restaurants and venues that they normally wouldn\u2019t go to,\u201d Anthony Ramirez II said.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\u201cIt encourages folks who normally wouldn\u2019t come out to the Bronx to come try us out, and [for] people that aren\u2019t aware that the Bronx Beer Hall serves food also come and see what kind of food we\u2019re offering.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Beer Hall has participated in Restaurant Week for roughly a decade, making it one of the Bronx\u2019s longtime participants. The Ramirezes say they hope first-time visitors become regulars after discovering the space.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe straight up hope it makes them come back when it\u2019s not Restaurant Week,\u201d Ramirez said. \u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity to show up and hopefully we become someone\u2019s new favorite place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each prix-fixe meal includes an appetizer, entr\u00e9e, side, dessert and beverage, making it one of the more generous deals among the Bronx\u2019s Restaurant Week offerings.

Where: 2417 Third Ave.<\/p>\n

What: Plant-based cafe and bar\n<\/p>\n

Price: $30 lunch\n<\/p>\n

Founded in 2021 by Liz Neumark, founder and CEO of hospitality group Great Performances, Mae Mae Cafe & Plant Shop combines food, plants, art and community in a green and lush space.<\/p>\n

The caf\u00e9 emphasizes fresh, high-quality ingredients, with produce sourced in part from Great Performances\u2019 60-acre organic farm in Kinderhook, New York. Its menu is primarily plant-based, though the caf\u00e9 also offers some meat options.<\/p>\n

With coffee, tea, cocktails and food served in a lush, plant-filled setting, Mae Mae is as much a community gathering space as it is a restaurant. The caf\u00e9 also hosts events and gatherings, reflecting Great Performances\u2019 roots in the arts and its focus on bringing people together.<\/p>\n

For Restaurant Week, Mae Mae offers diners another opportunity to explore the caf\u00e9 and its approach to plant-forward dining while checking out one of Mott Haven\u2019s community-oriented food spots.<\/p>\n
