A Long Island story
Dinner menus need at least three choices per course: appetizer, entrée and dessert. On Saturdays, restaurants can stop the special menus after 7 p.m., so book early.
It’s not just about eating, either. Over two decades, organizers say Restaurant Week has donated more than $40,000 to Long Island food banks and charities, including more than $10,000 to The INN.
The full restaurant list keeps growing as Nov. 1 gets closer. Check the Long Island Restaurant Week website, and keep it locked to WLIT.FM for our picks.
