The fourth annual Newark Restaurant Week will kick off today (October 25) and run through November 3. Over 10 days, the event will spotlight Newark's diverse culinary scene, inviting both residents and visitors to enjoy the unique flavors offered by the city’s exceptional local restaurants.
Hosted by Invest Newark, Newark Restaurant Week provides food lovers with an exclusive opportunity to support local businesses. Attendees can explore prix-fixe menus and special offers on breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, featuring a variety of dishes, cocktails, and treats.
More than 60 restaurants across the city’s five wards are participating in this year's event, including Five Corners Ristorante, Taino's Kitchen and The Yard among others. Many of these establishments are proudly owned by Newark-based entrepreneurs, a testament to the city’s thriving and supportive small business community.
For a second year, attendees can participate in the Digital Restaurant Week Passport. This mobile passport encourages diners to explore different neighborhoods by offering local prizes for visiting 10 or more restaurants during the event.
“Newark’s vibrant small business community is the heartbeat of our city, and Newark Restaurant Week is a celebration of the talented entrepreneurs who make our culinary scene thrive. This event is more than just an opportunity to enjoy great food—it's a way for residents and visitors to support the local businesses that are the foundation of Newark’s economy,” said Invest Newark President and CEO, Marcus Randolph. “We’re proud to showcase the creativity and passion of our restaurant owners, who continue to elevate Newark as a premier dining destination.”
With support from The Junction at Gateway, Newark’s premier restaurant row, the New Jersey Devils, The Greater Newark Convention and Visitors Bureau, Ironbound Wealth Managment, Casa Americo Wines and No Pao 100 Reservas attendees will have the opportunity to indulge in the city’s booming culinary offerings.
