MASSAPEQUA, NY – Long Island Restaurant Week is a tri-annual event designed to promote the region’s diverse culinary scene by offering diners the opportunity to enjoy prix-fixe meals at participating restaurants across Nassau and Suffolk counties. The Winter 2025 edition is currently underway, running from Sunday, January 26th, through Sunday, February 2nd.

During this eight-day event, restaurants offer several prix-fixe options:

  • Lunch: A two-course menu priced at $24.
  • Dinner: Three-course menus available at $29, $39, or $46 price points.

Each participating restaurant provides at least three choices per course (appetizer, entrée, and dessert) for dinner menus. These special menus are available all night every night the restaurant is open during the promotion, except on Saturdays when the prix-fixe offerings may only be available until 7 p.m.

The event has garnered significant participation, with over 150 restaurants expected to take part this winter. Diners are encouraged to make reservations in advance to ensure seating at their preferred establishments. A full list of participating restaurants and their menus including an interactive map can be found on the official Long Island Restaurant Week website.

Additionally, the event features a Gift Card Giveaway, where diners can enter for a chance to win one of three gift cards redeemable at a participating restaurant of their choice. To participate, individuals must visit the Long Island Restaurant Week website between January 20th and February 3rd, 2025, and submit their information. Winners will be selected around February 7th and notified via telephone or email.
