They're basically trash and have been since forever.

Picking some of the JC spots at random, we've got the following:

Fire & Oak - 2- Course Lunch Starting at $29 / 3-Course Dinner Starting at $49 per person. Available Monday through Friday for lunch and Monday through Thursday for Dinner

Looks like it'll save you upwards of five-ten dollars maybe? Hard to tell with no prices and guessing on what they'll serve based on their regular menu

Light Horse Tavern - has a moderately large menu for RW, but no prices and no notation on their page of what sort of deal we're talking about.

Lokal - $45 for 3 Course Prefix (lol at prefix btw). Decent sized menu, appears to be for dinner only and not on Fri/Sat nights.

Again, looks like a $5-10 savings.

If going to mid-priced eateries and saving $5-10 bucks is your thing, go for it. There's nothing wrong with that.

I'll stick to the NYC one. It's also suffered from what it used to be, but there's still interesting stuff. The dinner cruise on the Hudson for $60 seems like a great date night or famous spots like the Russian Tea Room (the $45 lunch is actually a good deal, considering it averages around $70 individually).

Restaurant Week(s) (there’s a bunch of them now) has been a joke for years. Used to be some special deals to bring in new customers. Now it’s just what these places offer with their limited holiday menu’s, but on a Tuesday.

Not a joke, the JC & Hudson county resturant week has missed the whole fuckin' point for years.

I don't even have to pull up this year's to know it. Hamilton Pork probably follow the format of what lots of people do in years past: probably pick an app, pick an entree, maybe a drink, (all full price adding up to $39- and the funny part sometimes less if you buy individually from the normal menu), and then toss in a free half assed dessert that isn't on the normal menu like a brownie with a scoop of iced cream.
