The Italian Festival may be over, but that doesn’t mean there’s any shortage of amazing treats to try this week. In fact, both Hudson Restaurant Week and NYC Restaurant Week are coming up! Read on, to discover the best things to do in Hoboken, NJ, for the week of July 28th.

Noteworthy Items

Hudson Restaurant Week

Hudson Restaurant Week has finally arrived! From July 28th – August 8th, enjoy prixe-fix courses from some of the best restaurants in Hoboken, Jersey City, Bayonne and Weekhawken. The lunches are usually priced around $25, while the dinners cost between $30-$40. There are nearly 20 restaurants participating in Hoboken alone.

NYC Restaurant Week

This year, NYC Restaurant Week overlaps with the Hudson County’s Restaurant Week for double the fun. From July 21st – August 15th, nearly 300 New York City establishments will be offering prixe-fix menus; $25 for lunch and $38 for dinner. It’s a great time to try that restaurant you’ve been eying that costs a little something extra. Personally, we think that lunch offers the best deal, so if you work in the city take advantage!
