A Taste of Northport: Celebrate Long Island Restaurant Week with Local Culinary Gems

Long Island Restaurant Week is back, and this spring’s edition promises to be more delicious than ever—especially in the charming waterfront village of Northport. From Sunday, April 27 through Sunday, May 4, participating restaurants across the region are offering special prix fixe menus to entice diners during a typically quiet time in the industry.

Whether you’re craving upscale Mediterranean, bold Mexican flavors, or elevated American classics, Northport’s local culinary scene is ready to impress. Now’s the perfect time to explore new flavors, revisit old favorites, and support the restaurants that are the backbone of our community.

What is Long Island Restaurant Week?

Launched in 2006 and expanded due to popular demand, Long Island Restaurant Week is a tri-annual celebration of food, flavor, and local business. The event was designed to stimulate business during slower seasons—fall, winter, and spring—and has since grown to include over 160 restaurants during its winter installment and nearly 250 in the fall.

Each participating restaurant has the flexibility to offer a two-course lunch for $24, and/or a three-course dinner menu at tiered price points of $29, $39, or $46. It’s a great opportunity for food lovers to try new places or return to beloved eateries—without breaking the bank. Note: On Saturdays, the prix fixe dinner is only available until 7 p.m.

Melissa Farrell has a mission to support local business by "Going Local." As a local business owner herself, she understands the struggles entrepreneurs face when owning a business and is always trying to find ways to shine a spotlight onto them. Melissa started Going Local Tours & Experiences back in 2020 during the pandemic in hopes to bring people back into local restaurants and shops. She created food tours in Huntington, NY that would stop at 3-4 local businesses and gave the guests the chance to meet the owner and hear the story behind the business. She soon realized how powerful storytelling is when connecting people to local businesses and created options with local store owners as well to bring them onto the tour to share their story. Melissa wanted to expand out of Huntington to be able to support even more local businesses and started creating luxury picnics where she would bring local to you! She would find local businesses in the area of the picnic set up and deliver it to you offering ways to support over 3 local businesses at each picnic. This wasn't enough. She wanted to find a better way to help spread awareness of local businesses and share their stories. Enter Evangeline Knell...a woman with over 30 years of broadcasting experience who somehow convinced Melissa to host a 3 day live stream from the Huntington Fall Festival. She had never been on camera before, but working alongside Evie to create the 3 shows, gave Melissa the confidence to take on the challenge. The 3 shows produced focused on the local vendors, the food trucks and the events that occurred at the festival and had a much larger reach than Melissa could ever of done on her own. They soon realized a business partnership was needed and combined their two businesses, Identity Digital which is a production company and Going Local Tours and Experiences to form Going Local Media. Evie and Melissa even formed their own distribution outlet by creating Going Local TV, a streaming platform like Netflix or YouTube, that is all about local businesses, events and organizations on Long Island. There are over 200 videos including their podcast series "Let's Get Local" "Long Island Business Minds" and "Local Business Spotlight" that help spread awareness of our local businesses and Long Island Professionals. They are always thinking up new ways to support local, including this site, Going Local Long Island is a directory of articles on how to Go Local on Long Island. We appreciate you taking the time to read this and for supporting local! Thank you!
