The tri-annual Long Island Restaurant Week is bringing customers into Long Island restaurants. A recent survey shows the appetite for Restaurant Week is stronger than ever: more than 70 percent of diners say they are very likely to participate again, and over 45 percent make a point to dine out not just once, but twice during the promotion.
The Fall edition will take place from Sunday, November 2, to Sunday, November 9, with several prix fixe options. Restaurants may offer a $24 two-course lunch, a $29 three-course dinner menu, a $39 three-course dinner menu, and/or a $46 three-course dinner prix fixe.
Restaurants may offer any combination of the four prix fixes during the promotion. Each participant is required to offer at least three options per course for dinner (appetizer, entrée, and dessert) and for lunch (appetizer and entrée or entrée and dessert). Participating restaurants must offer specials on all days they are open from Sunday to Sunday, with the exception of Saturday, when it may only be offered until 7 PM.
Back by popular demand, the Gift Card Giveaway returns for the fall promotion, and diners have the option to enter to win one of three gift cards to be redeemed at a participating restaurant of their choice. To enter to win, diners must visit the Long Island Restaurant Week website between Monday, October 27, at 12 AM and Monday, November 10, at 11:59 PM and input their information. Winners will be selected on or around Friday, November 14, and notified by telephone or email.
“Diners are thrilled to welcome back Long Island Restaurant Week,” shared Nicole Castillo of Long Island Restaurant and Hospitality Group. “After over 200 restaurants participated last fall, we expect at least 200 again this year, offering delicious, specially curated menus that celebrate the island’s vibrant culinary scene and give everyone a chance to explore their favorite local eateries.”
