Jersey Shore Restaurant Week™ presented by BestWeekends.com and sponsored by Jersey Mike’s, Grey Goose Vodka, and Zagat Surveys is shaping up to be the event of the year at the Jersey Shore. Nearly 40 restaurants (see attached list) have already signed up for the first Jersey Shore Restaurant Week™ scheduled for November 6-15, 2009. “The response has been great”, said Jim Flynn, Chairman of the event, “with business the way it has been, I think an event that promotes restaurants and dining out, is being welcomed everywhere.”

During Restaurant Week, participating restaurants will offer a three course meal with three appetizer, three entrée and three dessert choices for either $20.09 or $30.09. “It is a wonderful way to re-visit your favorite restaurants or try new ones”, says Flynn.

The week starts with the Kick-Off Party on Thursday, November 5, 2009 at the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park. Live bands, happy hour drink prices, free food and giveaways will help kick-off the week. Advance tickets go on sale at all Jersey Mike’s locations on September 15th.
