Bloomfield's 5th Annual Restaurant Week is Set for August 6-14, 2016; Over 25 Local Eateries to Offer Budget-Friendly, Fixed-Price Menus Highlighting Diverse Selections

As Bloomfield prepares to celebrate the Fifth AnnuAl Bloomfield Restaurant Week, it seems appropriate that the modern gift to celebrate the fifth anniversary is silverware.

Taking place from Saturday, Aug. 6 through Sunday, Aug. 14, the event will showcase a blend of old favorites and new "must-try" eateries in one of New Jersey's best dining destinations.

More than 25 of Bloomfield's finest restaurants will offer lunch and/or dinner prix fixe menus costing $30 or less, not including drinks, tax and tips.

"It has been amazing to witness the transformation of our town with the addition of new housing and retail over the past few years," said Anthony Lauro of Anthony's Cheesecakes and a member of the Bloomfield Restaurant Week Committee. "Restaurant Week is the best opportunity for new and longtime residents to explore all the culinary wonders of our hometown. There's truly something for everyone."

Extensive promotions for Bloomfield Restaurant Week will reach local residents as well as the neighboring communities of Montclair, Nutley, Glen Ridge, Belleville, Clifton, West Orange and beyond.

Comcast Spotlight is a major sponsor and promoter of the event; watch for commercials beginning in July on Food Network and other local cable channels.
