A requisite part of living in New York is having a keen eye for good deals. Manhattan itself was once a stellar deal, sold to the Dutch at the fire-sale price of 60 guilders (about $24).
Although $24 won't buy you much real estate these days, it's enough to keep you well-fed through September 20.
To commemorate the 400 years of friendship between America and the Netherlands--and the legendary Manhattan purchase--more than 50 restaurants are designing special Taste NiEuW Amsterdam multicourse menus priced at $24 (click here to download a list of participating spots).
And Taste NiEuW Amsterdam isn't the only way to celebrate New York's vibrant Dutch heritage; click here for a full list of events, including free bike rentals and tours of classic Dutch boats.
