Celebrating the burgeoning culinary scene in Atlantic City, the east coast shore destination has announced the return of Restaurant Week (http://www.acrestaurantweek.com) taking place Sunday, February 28 through Saturday, March 6, 2010. More than 70 of the destination’ best restaurants will once again offer special fixed price lunches for $15.10 per person and fixed price dinners for $33.10 per person during the week-long promotion.
“t seems only natural to make Restaurant Week an annual event after the success last year which encouraged a number of participating restaurants to extend their special menus,”said Jeff Vasser president of the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority. “ost recently, we added Borgata’ Fornelletto Cucina and Wine Bar by celebrated chef Stephen Kalt to our roster of outstanding restaurants which will help guarantee another successful year for Restaurant Week.”
In addition to Fornelletto’ Modern Italian, other dining styles represented during Restaurant Week 2010 include Japanese pub fare, Irish, Mediterranean, Latin and more. Atlantic City’ inaugural Restaurant Week in 2009 prompted 74 restaurants to participate and extend their fixed prices for another full week.
