Long Island Restaurant Week is back in Nassau County with 81 restaurants participating. Last winter, we only participated in one restaurant week, which also coincided with NYC restaurant week. We dined in Luigi’s for lunch and for $24 we got a generous portion of food that we took it home and it took 2-3 days to finish. All of these dishes will be offered for this season’s restaurant week: the Meatball and Meatball Parm Hero for lunch and the Fried Calamari and Salmon Peperonata for dinner.

Long Island Restaurant literally last a week starting today 01/25/26 thru 02/01/26. They are offering the restaurant week menu on Saturday 01/31/26 until 7pm. Given the realistic time frame, recovering health issue and current weather conditions, I’d be lucky if I make it to one. In the meantime, here is my list of five restaurants I would go to:

1. Iavorone Cafe & Kitchen
2. Luigi’s (Dinner)
3. Park Place
4. The Harrison
5. Morton’s The Steakhouse

Check out my game plan for NYC Restaurant Week which is currently ongoing thru 02/12/26.  In the meantime, I’ll be checking their social media pages and hopefully I’ll be able to repost on my stories as my way of supporting small businesses and another restaurant week concept.
