Diners who want to sample some of Niantic, Flanders and East Lyme’s best food at discounted prices and special savings will have nearly 30 restaurants to choose from with the launch of the Niantic/East Lyme Restaurant Week, coming in the New Year, January 21 to January 27, 2013. The week-long foodie event is presented by Niantic Main Street and sponsored by The Black Sheep Pub, Main Street Grille, The Day, Discover East Lyme, La Belle Aurore, Charter Oak Federal Credit Union and Smith Insurance.
“Niantic Main Street is honored to help support this event and bring attention to our wonderful community,” Dan Walsh, Niantic Main Street president, said. “We look forward to great dining, fun and having others discover the great restaurants and eateries we have to offer!”
Unlike a typical restaurant week where one price is set for lunch and dinner, Niantic, Flanders and East Lyme are tailoring their restaurant week to fit their community filled with cafes, restaurants, take-out eateries, delis and more. Each eatery will come up with their own special during the week to help entice customers. Current specials include discounts, free gifts with purchase, special food combos and more.

“East Lyme and its villages of Flanders and Niantic have been long known as a sleepy little town with not much to offer,” Frank Grace, owner of Main Street Grille, said. “Not any longer. Just look at the amount of eateries alone and anyone can see for themselves. In addition to the eateries, we have a beautiful waterfront and a lot of great shops that many have yet to discover. We would like people from all over come see the town in which we are all so proud to do business in.”
