Garwood To Host First-Ever Restaurant Week To Boost Business

GARWOOD, NJ — Garwood is looking to host its first-ever Garwood Restaurant Week at the end of the month to boost business for local restaurants, which have been especially hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The borough's restaurant week will be held from Sunday, March 21 to Saturday, March 27, announced Garwood’s Communication Committee on Monday.

Participating restaurants and their Restaurant Week menus will be displayed on the Borough’s website, Facebook page, and email newsletter.

All participating restaurants are encouraged to:

• Offer a 3-course, prix-fixe menu every day of Restaurant Week with a suggested $20 price point
• Offer a value, that separately billed, exceeds the prix-fixe price by at least $10 per person
• Include at least 3 choices in each course category and include a vegetarian option
• If a prix-fixe menu is not appropriate for your restaurant, offer a special discount or offer instead
• Post the Garwood Restaurant Week logo on their websites and social media channels
• Plan staffing and supply order accordingly with participation
• This year, we are waiving a participation fee to encourage greater participation and recognizing the economic impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on local restaurants.

The deadline for restaurants to sign up and submit their "Restaurant Week" menu or offer is Friday, March 5. Restaurants can sign up to participate by visiting garwood.org/rwsignup.

For questions about participating in Garwood Restaurant Week 2021, reach out to the borough's Public Information Office at publicinformation@garwood.org.
