The salivating spring incarnation of Long Island Restaurant Week is upon us like so many daffodils exploding all over the East End, and you know what that means: Now’s your chance before the summer explosion of visitors to nab your seat and taste some faves, old and new!
There are a whopping 28 participating between the North and South forks, Riverhead and Wading River this year from Sunday to Sunday, April 27 to May 4, offering $29, $39 and $46 prix-fixe dinners and, in some instances, $24 two-course lunches. (Note: not all do Saturday night for the prix fixe, and if they do it ends by 7 p.m., so plan accordingly).
