Hamptons Restaurant Week is an annual event on the East End of Long Island. The week long promotion features a special prix fixe dinner offered by all restaurant participants. As well, the promotion has included discounts at lodging properties, retail outlets, transportation and local wine. The Seventh Annual Hamptons Restaurant Week is scheduled to launch from Sunday, March 29th through Sunday, April 5th, 2009.
In addition to its beautiful beaches, lovely historic villages, vineyards and shopping, the renowned East End of Long Island is well known for its dining scene. Some of the finest food on the East Coast is available in this cluster of elegant resort
towns known as The Hamptons. And for one week before the start of "off season," Hamptons dining will be available for bargain prices. The idea is simple: for one week, Sunday to Sunday, all participating restaurants offer a 3-course prix fixe for $24.95 all night except Saturday when it will be offered only until 7 p.m. Each restaurant offers their own unique menu selections and some restaurants will offer special discounts on Long Island wines.
The inspiration for this event first came from the successful New York Restaurant Week, established in 1992 and now held each winter and summer in Manhattan. The inaugural Hamptons Restaurant Week was held in late March of 2003 and was a rousing success. Restaurateurs experienced a surge in business, and some, by more than 50% during this promotion.
