Time for Deals During Restaurant Week

Almond is one of the many local restaurants participating in Hamptons Restaurant Week, March 29 through April 5.

Hamptons Restaurant Week is here - finally! It's that time of year for foodies and East Enders to rejoice. The Seventh Annual "Hamptons Restaurant Week" kicks off on Sunday, March 29 and ends Sunday, April 5. This year marks the first year of the $24.95 price point. Yes, the economy is bad and our wallets are suffering, but our local restaurants need to survive too. Compared to other restaurant weeks, like New York City and Boston, where the dinner prix fixe ranges from $26 to $44, Hamptons Restaurant Week is and remains to be quite the bargain.
