PEEKSKILL, NY — Nearly 200 eateries that would have participated in Hudson Valley Restaurant Week this past spring will be taking part in a new event Aug. 17-30 — Time to Dine. Restaurants in Cortlandt and Peekskill will be offering the region's residents the chance to help support them as they work to reopen after New York's new coronavirus crisis.
Restaurant Week for spring 2020 was canceled in mid-March as the outbreak began to expand. The state shut down bars and restaurants March 16.
Now with the region in the fourth phase of the state's reopening, restaurants need patronage, said Mike Martinelli of "The Valley Table."

"Consumer confidence is low right now, and some people are hesitant to venture out," he said in an announcement about Time to Dine, which gives patrons the opportunity to dine in or take out.
Along with special offers and promotions from participating restaurants, Time To Dine will also feature a daily social media winner. Prizes will range from restaurant gift cards, to event tickets and more. Diners just need to post a photo of themselves at a participating restaurant or the meal they got from take out, tag the restaurant, and use the hashtag #TimeToDine. Winners will be chosen on a random basis from all social media posts.
