Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, NYC & Company and the Times Square Alliance have announced a "Dining in the District" restaurant discount — effective Nov. 17-25 (excluding Thanksgiving day) — as a means to counter the loss of business in New York's theatre district due to the current stagehands strike.
The "special weeklong dining program [is] intended to attract New Yorkers and visitors to restaurants... that have been affected by the Broadway stagehand strike," according to an announcement, and "will offer a 15% discount on lunch or dinner to all patrons at more than 25 participating restaurants."

Will they put on a SHOW, as well? I'm thinking something along the lines of Naked Waiters Singing.

Hope this isnt a dumb question, but are all of those restaurants automatically doing this when you go in and eat, or do you have to bring in a discount coupon or something?
I dont know, just wasnt sure if theres some special discount sheet you have to bring in...
But this is good news for my trip this week :) Was hoping to make it to the Brooklyn Diner anyways, and now I'll have even more reason to go, haha.
