NEW YORK—The Dine in Brooklyn event, launched at a press event on Tuesday, is something to look forward to for food lovers and food connoisseurs alike. Over 200 Brooklyn restaurants are cooking up a storm to serve their tastiest delights at bargain deals.
Borough President Marty Markowitz hosted the tasting at Borough Hall to officially launch the upcoming eighth annual Dine in Brooklyn event, which will run from March 21–31.
“New Yorkers and tourists alike have discovered that the culinary epicenter of America is right here in Brooklyn,” said Markowitz, touting Brooklyn’s culinary diversity.
“Whether you fancy the French fare in Brooklyn’s Bastille Day hot spot in Carroll Gardens. … Whether you want to sample the collective ethnic food from everywhere on the planet, from China to the Caribbean, from Russia to Bangladesh, from Australia to Turkey, or simply looking for comfort food American-style in Brooklyn, your table is waiting!” said Markowitz.
For this year’s event, Brooklyn restaurants will be offering three-course dinner and lunch menus for $25 and $20.11 per person respectively, and two-for-one deals at participating restaurants.
“This year, considering the economy, it’s still tight. I think the $25.00 is a fair price,” said Markowitz.
“The initiative is great for not only the restaurants, but also for all who love to dine in Brooklyn restaurants … and we are bringing people from all the other boroughs,” said Executive Vice President of New York State Restaurant Association, Andrew Rigie. “Everyone just needs to get out, go dine in Brooklyn,” enthused Rigie.
Participating at the press tasting and launch were a diverse range of restaurants offering their finest delicacies.
Okeanos Restaurant offers Greek cuisine with fish as their specialty, served with certified organic wines. The adventurous might like a taste of the Waterfront Ale House’s wild boar sandwich, while Melt Restaurant’s general manager, Joshua Gibson, reckoned that their No. 1 best-selling item is the Melt burger, made from grass-fed Black Angus beef served on a brioche.
