Long Island's Restaurant Week Returns for a Spring Fling

From April 3-10, participating restaurants are offering a fixed-price dinner each evening.

It's been such a hit with customers and restaurants that Long Island Restaurant Week will now take place twice a year. The spring restaurant week will run April 3-10.

The eight-day promotion features a special fixed price dinner offered by all restaurant participants. From Sunday to Sunday, all participating restaurants will offer a three-course prix fixe for $24.95 all night, except Saturday night when it will be offered only until 7 p.m. Each restaurant offers its own unique menu. So far, 159 restaurants have signed on.

Participating restaurants must offer the $24.95 three-course prix fixe that includes at least three choices of each course – three appetizers, three entrées, three desserts. It is their choice to offer additional items to the special menu that are higher priced.
