Spring has sprung!
And the Island’s second installment of Long Island Restaurant Week is almost upon us, with select restaurants from across Nassau and Suffolk counties lining up to offer prix fixe deals for both lunch and dinner.
The eight days of foodie fun in the sun starts Sunday, April 27, and runs through Sunday, May 4.

“On the heels of a very successful Winter Restaurant Week, the spring edition is sure to see more restaurants involved, especially with the seasonal spots opening before the summer season kicks off,” said Nicole Castillo of Long Island Restaurant and Hospitality Group, which runs the tri-annual event.
“Winter Restaurant Week saw over 180 restaurants to choose from,” she said, “and we are expecting even more this spring, as 70 percent of foodies surveyed have shared that they plan to dine out during restaurant week it’s looking to be a busy week.”
The survey also found that more than 45 percent of participants said they dine out twice during the popular promotion.

About Long Island Restaurant Week
“Long Island Restaurant Week is a win-win for both restaurateurs and diners — increased foot traffic at restaurants and affordable meals at some of Long Island’s top restaurants,” Castillo said. “My best advice for restaurant week?
“Make reservations to guarantee you get into your favorite restaurant!”
An estimated 116,000 meals are served during each promotion at over 140 Long Island locations, which is good for about $4 million in revenues from every Long Island Restaurant Week.
It started as a fall-only promotion in 2006 until the first spring Long Island Restaurant Week was launched in April 2011. Winter was added in January of 2016, due to popular customer and restaurateur demand. Visit the Long Island Restaurant Week website for any more information.
