BY SCOTT STIFFLER | NYC Restaurant Week—which began on January 17—isn’t contained to a mere seven days on the calendar. The annual wintertime gastronomic go-to happens through February 12. Its prix-fixe two-course lunches and three-course dinners for $30, $45 and $60 are available at nearly 500 restaurants across all five boroughs—but we’re containing our coverage to Chelsea Community News’ namesake neighborhood, with a nod to the nearby areas we’re in the process of embracing, as we expand the scope of our editorial coverage. First up, here’s what’s on the plate in Chelsea (click here for the nabe’s full list of participants).

All programs take place through February 12. Reservations are bookable at nycgo.com/winterouting.
