New Haven Restaurant Week, organized by Market New Haven, has expanded to two weeks this year — lasting from Sunday, Nov. 2, to Saturday, Nov. 15.

The event features a variety of cuisines, including American, Belgian, Spanish, Italian, Peruvian and Mexican. Most of the restaurants featured are in the city’s downtown area, but restaurants in other neighborhoods such as Wooster Square, Long Wharf, Westville and East Rock are included as well. For the two weeks, participating restaurants have special menus at set prices for lunch or dinner.

“Each year, New Haven Restaurant Week showcases the talent and creativity of our chefs and restaurateurs,” Bruno Baggetta, the chief marketing officer of Market New Haven, said in a news release. “Expanding to two weeks gives both restaurants and guests more opportunities to enjoy everything New Haven’s dining scene has to offer.”

New Haven’s was the first organized restaurant week program in Connecticut, having been in operation for 18 years, according to Market New Haven. Initially focused on the downtown dining scene, it has expanded to involve restaurants throughout the city.

In order to deal with the increased traffic, The Shops at Yale will offer free two-hour parking with a receipt for $50 or more from any participating restaurant. During lunch, Park New Haven will also offer a flat $6 parking rate in its Crown Street and Temple Street garages.

Some restaurants will offer both a two-course lunch and three-course dinner at set prices, while others will only offer dinner.

The restaurants offering dinner for $55 per person are 80 Proof American Kitchen & Bar, Jack’s Bar and Steakhouse, John Davenport’s, Melting Pot, Olea and Zinc.

Those offering dinner for $45 are Barcelona Wine Bar, Camacho Garage, Encore by Goodfellas, L’Orcio and Tre Scalini.

Eight restaurants will offer both lunch for $25 and dinner for $45: Caffe Bravo, Casanova, Chacra Pisco Bar, Geronimo Tequila Bar & Southwest Grill, Il Gabbiano, Pacifico, South Bay and Villa Lulu.

Finally, those offering lunch for $25 and dinner for $55 are Atelier Florian, BLDG at Hotel Marcel, Harvest Wine Bar and Heirloom.

Market New Haven partners with the city to promote local tourism.
