23 restaurants already
onboard for annual dining extravaganza set for October 9-16

WExcitement is already building as more restaurants are signing
up daily to be a part of Dine Huntington Restaurant Week.
Scheduled for eight days from October 9-16, it’s the
restaurant event of the year in the dining capital of Long
Island – Huntington Township.
Dine Huntington Restaurant Week is sponsored by Long Islander
Newspapers and Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce to
showcase restaurants from throughout the Town of Huntington.
As a way to meet new customers and show off their establishments,
participating restaurants treat customers to a 3-course dining
experience for $24.95 per person plus tax and tip (Saturday
until 7 p.m. only).
Dine Huntington Restaurant Week is a collaborative effort
of Long Islander Newspapers and the Huntington Township Chamber
of Commerce to promote and celebrate a vital sector of Huntington’s
economy – restaurants.
While the aim of Dine Huntington Restaurant Week is to introduce
new customers to area restaurants, the thousands of visitors
it brings into town are beneficial to the local economy as
a whole. Dine Huntington Restaurant Week last year brought
thousands of diners to 66 participating restaurants resulting
in 40,000 meals served and an estimated $1.5 million in direct
sales.
Now in its third year, Dine Huntington Restaurant Week attracts
diners from all over Long Island.
“We have seen Dine Huntington grow from an idea to an
eagerly-awaited annual event,” said Michael Schenkler,
publisher of Long Islander Newspapers and Dine Huntington
Restaurant Week organizer. “Thousands of Foodies watch
for updates on the DineHuntington Facebook page and as Restaurant
Week approaches, regularly check out the menus which are posted
on the website, DineHuntington.com.”
“The impact of Dine Huntington Restaurant Week is immense,”
added Chamber Chairman Bob Bontempi. “The restaurant
industry plays a huge part in our local economy. More importantly,
it has a ripple effect that benefits other businesses as restaurant
patrons visit nearby shops and stroll the downtown areas.”
One of the Island’s most celebrated restaurants, Prime
– An American Kitchen & Bar, was first to sign up
for this year’s Dine Huntington Restaurant Week. As of
early this week, 23 establishments have signed on and more
are joining every day.
Patrons will be able to line up their Dine Huntington Restaurant
Week excursions by logging on to www.DineHuntington.com where
menus from participating restaurants will be posted.
Restaurants interested in participating in Dine Huntington
Restaurant Week may call 631-427-7000 for further information.
In addition, a limited number of sponsorships are available.
