Where to Dine

Some of the finest food on the East Coast is available in this region less than one hour from New York City. At the heart of hospitality services on Long Island are hundreds of restaurants and thousands of men and women serving local and visiting diners. Long Island Restaurant Week boosts commerce in traditionally sluggish periods during the fall, between post-summer spending and pre-holiday saving, and in the spring, between warm weather getaways and summer barbecues. The campaigns, which span across the region’s 118-miles from Garden City to Montauk, boast nearly 250 participants each fall and more than 160 during the spring.
