Newburyport Restaurant Week is back running now through March 26. Participating restaurants are offering pre fixe menus at some great prices. So, this is the perfect time to try somewhere new and shake off those winter cobwebs.
“We are thrilled to bring Restaurant Week back after taking a break during the COVID years,” noted Nate Allard, President of the Greater Newburyport Chamber of Commerce & Industry. “The week will help our local restaurants showcase their menus and increase foot traffic to the downtown during our shoulder season.”
March is an in between month for us in New England, we know Spring is on its way, but we still can’t seem to shake winter—this week’s storm is the perfect example—but that is no excuse for staying home, it is time to get back out there and try something new. When you visit Newburyport, you will find that there are so many great things to check out in their historical downtown including coffee shops, boutiques and lots of great architecture. And if you want to make a weekend out of it, there are also some cute bed and breakfasts and boutique hotels around town, just perfect for a getaway from Boston.
“Newburyport has a thriving downtown, and The Greater Newburyport Chamber has a strong regional reach,” said Nancy Gardella, Executive Director of Northshore Convention and Visitors Bureau. “There are so many ways to connect and enjoy this quintessential New England city by the mighty Merrimac River. The opportunity awaits for visitors to enjoy an evening out on the town and combine it with an overnight adventure to experience the vast array of arts, culture and ecotourism offerings.”
There are lunch options for $22, $26 and $32 and dinner options for $36, $42 and $46. Some of the can’t miss restaurants are Brine Oyster, Tuscan Sea Grill and the Poynt, but there are lots of great spots participating this year so check a few of them out for yourself! And when you come back to Boston snag a reservation at one of our Dine Out Boston participants as well!
