Long Island Restaurant Week is back!

A tri-annual event, Long Island Restaurant Week gives Long Island foodies the opportunity to explore the hottest restaurants for a cool price.

From Sunday to Sunday, each participating restaurant has the option to offer its own unique two-course lunch menu for $24, and/or three-course dinner menu for $29, $39 or $46 every day it is open, except Saturday when it is offered only until 7 p.m. Please note: beverages are not included in the price; rather, the promotion includes an appetizer, dessert, and entrée.

There are over 140 restaurants to choose from each Restaurant Week, so The Islip Bulletin is dishing you the inside scoop on what our favorite local restaurants will be offering.
