EASTON, Pa. – We hope you\u2019re hungry because Easton\u2019s Restaurant Week is back with mouth-watering meals and special menus!<\/p>\n
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and at Billy\u2019s Downtown Diner in Easton, they\u2019re serving up meals and deals during Easton Restaurant Week that kicked off Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite the weather, we still had an abundance of guests come in seeking the restaurant week menu, so it was a great turnout overall,\u201d said Dominica DeFrancisco, the General Manager and Operations Manager at Billy’s Downtown Diner.<\/p>\n
Happening in both January and July, this is the city\u2019s 18th year hosting restaurant week. Organizers say they hope to draw in customers during slower months.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody has a special menu for restaurant week. Most are a fixed menu at a fixed price, so you get two or three courses at one price,\u201d Christine Piper said, the Director of Easton Restaurant Week.<\/p>\n
This helps families budget out their meals at more than twenty restaurants taking part in the event.<\/p>\n
Delectable items like this hefty serving of squid ink pasta at River Grille on Northampton Street is an option up for grabs in its three course meal at $42.95.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re trying to be economical as well in these times. Everybody spends money everywhere for things that they don\u2019t expect to pay that much for, so we\u2019re trying to offer a good value,\u201d Chip Muntean said, the Operation Manager with Gusto Restaurant Group.<\/p>\n
Muntean says it\u2019s a way to show customers they appreciate them after 23 years in business.<\/p>\n
But for others, like Kabinett, they\u2019re hoping for more exposure while offering new dishes for the event that runs through Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo encourage people to discover newer restaurants, and I think that\u2019s really important. Being a new restaurant, only three years old, it\u2019s great that people can be like, \u2018We didn\u2019t know about you this is amazing’,\u201d said Jason Hoy, the Owner of Kabinett.<\/p>\n
