Restaurant Appreciation Week's Delicious Chance To Show Support

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — It hasn't been easy for restaurants the past couple of years, but New Rochelle officials are planning a chance for us to show our support and be richly rewarded at the same time.

The New Rochelle Downtown Business Improvement District will launch the first ever Restaurant Appreciation week to help boost downtown restaurants. More than 20 restaurants will offer menus with $25 and $45 specials for dine-in and takeout from March 1, to March 10.

"We know everyone loves our New Rochelle Downtown restaurants because we have so much variety here," New Rochelle Downtown Business Improvement District Director Karel Littman said. "Come join us. Restaurant Appreciation Week is a great time to support our dedicated dining entrepreneurs and at the same time get a taste of how living in Downtown can add flavor to your life."

New Rochelle downtown is undergoing a remarkable transformation, Littman's group points out. New apartment buildings in all stages of development are being added to the mix downtown. New Rochelle Downtown Restaurant Appreciation Week is seen as a way for people of all ages who are interested in the area to experience the excitement and to sample downtown’s wide variety of international cuisines.

There is something to suit everyone’s taste with so many multicultural and varied cuisines — including authentic Argentinian, Caribbean, Colombian, Italian, Jamaican, Mexican, Peruvian and American South and West flavors, organizers explained.

Restaurants participating in the inaugural New Rochelle Restaurant Appreciation Week include:

• Alvin & Friends
• Ava Ava RBL
• Colombian House
• Noma Social
• Magno’s Grill
• Mexican Corner
• Modern Restaurant
• Olibar Peruvian Cuisine
• RocnRamen
• Wooden Spoon

The New Rochelle Downtown Restaurant Appreciation Week Specials are available in person for dine-in and take out, depending on the special and to order by phone (directly calling the restaurant only). They will not be available to order on any apps. Be sure to mention the New Rochelle Downtown Restaurant Appreciation Week Special when placing your order.
