L.I. Restaurant Week

The winter iteration of Long Island Restaurant will begin on Jan. 26 and continue through Feb. 2. Each restaurant that takes part will offer a $24 two-course lunch and/or three-course dinner menus priced at $29, $39, or $46, plus tax and gratuity. Each participant is required to offer at least three options per course, and they must offer the special menus all night every night they are open (or during lunch hours), except for Saturdays, when it can be offered until 7 p.m.

The South Fork restaurants running the promotion as of this writing are Nick and Toni’s and LDV at the Maidstone in East Hampton, Page at 63 Main in Sag Harbor, the Bridgehampton Inn and Restaurant, and Bistro Ete and Calissa in Water Mill. Farther afield, Centro 336 in Hampton Bays, Stone Creek Inn in East Quogue, and Fauna in Westhampton Beach are also participating.

More information, menus for some of the restaurants, and up-do-date information on participants are available at longislandrestaurantweek.com.
