A second serving of Atlantic City's Restaurant Week
If you didn’t get a chance to DO AC during Atlantic City Restaurant Week, don’t worry: 38 of the participating restaurants are extending their special value-priced menus for another week.
"Extending restaurant week into a second week is a no brainer," said Ed Hitzel, the publisher of Ed Hitzel's Restaurant Magazine and the popular host of a South Jersey talk radio show centered on local restaurants, "One week is simply not enough."
"The demand is tremendous," said Hitzel, "Everybody's hopping."
"We started this right after the first Restaurant Week in Atlantic City ended with a massive snow storm and as a result of overwhelming guest demand, we extended it into a second week, " said Sandler, "This is something that our guests' now expect, year after year and we are happy to give it to them."
Sandler said participating in Restaurant Week is an amazing "marketing tool" for area restaurants.
"It gives us the ability to showcase what we can do and what we have to offer to new and existing customers," said Sandler, "For us its large portions, great food and exemplary service. It's what we do and we do it well."
