Per diem check
$38.00 USD for dinner: the US federal (GSA) dinner allowance for New York City, FY2027 (part of the $92 daily meals rate). Many companies use government rates as their benchmark. None of our dinner picks typically fit it, so plan on the company covering the difference or choosing a set menu.
Fit is based on our price estimates, before tax and tip. Rate source ↗

Groups of 10 or more: book a private room 3 to 4 weeks ahead in a normal week.
Conference weeks: book as soon as your dates are set. Each conference guide shows our book-by date.
Game nights near the arena: book pregame dinners at least a week ahead.
Holidays: many restaurants close or switch to set menus, so confirm hours before you book.
