Restaurants serving New Hope and Lambertville will launch into the new year with the return of the second annual New Hope and Lambertville Restaurant Week.
The event, which runs from Jan. 12 through Jan. 25, is a joint initiative between the Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Lambertville Chamber of Commerce.
More than two dozen restaurants on both sides of the Delaware River are slated to participate. They will offer three-course prix fixe lunch and dinner menus priced between $25 and $55.
Organizers said the two-week event is designed to support the local economy during a period that is typically quiet for the hospitality industry.
“Dining out during January can have a profound impact on our restaurants by keeping them steady during a traditionally slower part of the year,” said Carolyn Gadbois, vice president of the Greater Lambertville Chamber of Commerce.
The participating lineup includes a mix of historic inns and modern eateries.
Pennsylvania restaurants include Birds Nest Bar & Grille, Black Bass Hotel, GreenHouse New Hope, Ferry + Main Restaurant at the Logan Inn, Golden Pheasant Inn, Italian Cucina, Martine’s Riverhouse, Nektar Wine Bar, OldeStone Steakhouse, River House at Odette’s, The Ferry Market and V-Spot Vegan Food Restaurant, plus others to be announced. Clusters Handcrafted Popcorn will also offer specials for restaurant week diners visiting New Hope.
New Jersey restaurants include Broadmoor Osteria Italiana, El Tule, Lambertville Station Restaurant and Inn, Metá Café, Nomad Pizza Lambertville, Pru Thai, The Salt House, The Starving Artists Café and Under The Moon.
Michael Sklar, president of the New Hope Chamber and co-owner of Oldestone Steakhouse and GreenHouse, described the event as a “win-win” for the area.
“There’s something for every taste and type of cuisine — to every setting and vibe,” Sklar said. “Come as you are for a casual weeknight out with friends and neighbors, or get dressed up and make it a special date night on the town.”
The collaboration between Visit New Hope and Explore Lambertville highlights the interconnected nature of the two historic towns, which are linked by the free bridge.
“When our restaurants thrive, the entire community benefits,” Sklar said. “Shops, galleries, hotels, and local events all feel that momentum.”
Specific menus and hours for participating businesses are being updated daily. Information can be found on the official websites for the New Hope and Lambertville chambers.
