London Lennie’s One Of 3 Queens Spots In Restaurant Week Lineup!

London Lennie's Seafood Restaurant.

REGO PARK, QUEENS — Renowned seafood spot London Lennie’s is one of just three Queens eateries offering special deals for the biannual NYC Restaurant Week, which started Tuesday.

The Rego Park restaurant will offer $26 weekday lunches and a $42 three-course dinner menu to give New Yorkers their fix of fresh seafood this winter.

This Restaurant Week, which lasts until Feb. 9, foodies will get to choose among 365 participating dining establishments — but they won’t see much of the World’s Borough.

 The only other Queens restaurants participating in Restaurant Week are the Astoria steakhouse Meet the Meat and Long Island City Italian restaurant Maiella.

London Lennie’s Restaurant Week deal is sure to be welcome news for loyal fans of the longtime seafood joint, which was rumored to be closing after the owners briefly put the building on the market last spring.

Information about the restaurants, restaurant week menus and links to reserve tables can be found at the NYC Restaurant Week website.
