It’s that time of year again… Make your reservations now for Hudson Valley Restaurant Week 2014, and take advantage of some of the best in our area! Although it’s still coined “week” this spring’s event runs for two—the event runs March 10th – 23rd and features over 150 eateries in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and surrounding counties. The deal? A three-course dinner (appetizer, entree and dessert) at participating restaurants will cost you a mere $29.95*. Lunch goes for $20.95.*
*Beverages, tax and tip NOT included.
Photos from last night’s #HVRW Kickoff Party are included here, and here’s the incentive you made need to cross that much desired restaurant off your list. Below are just a few #IntoxiKate recommendations, along with can’t miss items from their restaurant week menus, to tempt those tastebuds.
Some of the chefs featured in this year’s HVRW.
{IntoxiKate Tip!}
Make sure to visit HudsonValleyRestaurantWeek.com for the full list of participating restaurants. Heads up—this time around, some have excluded the deal from Friday and Saturday nights and/or are offering dinner menus only. Make sure you check the list before making your reservation (and do so quickly!).
