“The Adirondack Region offers diverse, world-class dining and accommodations that attract visitors all year long,” said Jim McKenna, president of the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism (ROOST). “The specials offered at participating restaurants during Restaurant Week will encourage locals to try new establishments and at the same time attract visitors to the area who will also stay at our hotels and shop in our stores.”

This year’s event highlights both established restaurants as well as recently-opened enterprises. New participating restaurants can be found in all five participating municipalities. Paul Smith’s College has provided significant support to the event. The idea for Restaurant Week originated out of a class led by assistant professor Kelly Cerialo. Cerialo’s students work to organize the retail and hospitality components of the event.
