Eat Local New York Restaurant Week: A Celebration of Independent Restaurants Across the Empire State.
Alright everyone, mark your calendars. Eat Local New York Restaurant Week presented by Town & Country Pest Solutions is happening April 28 – May 10, 2025, and it’s bringing some of the best restaurants across the state together for a two-week food celebration of Independent restaurants here in New York.
The idea is simple: local restaurants, special menus, great deals—all giving you a reason to try somewhere new, revisit an old favorite, or just eat really, really well.
What’s the Deal?
Restaurants all over New York are rolling out prix-fixe menus or exclusive specials just for Restaurant Week. Whether you’re in Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, Utica, the Hudson Valley, or Brooklyn, you’ll find spots serving up everything from burgers to wood-fired pizza to fresh seafood and global flavors.
Basically, it’s the perfect excuse to go out to eat (as if you needed one).
Where to Eat
Here’s just a taste of some of the restaurants participating:
🍕 Rochester: Montgomery Court Coffee, Dough Boyz, Char Steak & Lounge
🍔 Buffalo: Blue Eyed Baker, Buffalo Bros. Burgers, Mexico City
🍻 Syracuse: Kitty Hoynes, 317 at Montgomery, Three Lives, Toss & Fire
🍜 Utica & Mohawk Valley: CRUST, Lafa Mediterranean, Prime 67 Market
