Woodbury Restaurant Week is March 19-25

The organizers of the 2018 Woodbury Restaurant Week have announced that 14 restaurants, and more than a dozen shops are participating in this year’s event, running from March 19 through March 25.

Woodbury First Selectman Bill Butterly said he hopes patrons don’t have to eat and run. Butterly is hoping visitors will stay and enjoy the town’s antique shops, local businesses, hiking on one of its many wooded trails, or just relax with a stroll down Main Street.

“Our small town is known for its traditional architecture and has recently become home to some of the best restaurants in Connecticut,” Butterly said. “Woodbury Restaurant Week is an integrated celebration of Woodbury, centered on the dining opportunities in town.”

The participating restaurants are: Al’s Best Pizza, Carlito’s of Woodbury, Carole Peck’s Good Restaurant & Bar, The Charcoal Chef, Constantine’s, The Curtis House Inn, John’s Café, Market Place of Woodbury, The Olive Tree, Papa’s Main Street Deli, San Remo, The Split Rail, The Woodbury Brewing Company, and The Woodbury Diner.

Restaurants will give diners a special Woodbury Restaurant Week stamp card, which can be used to unlock discounts and deals at several of the town’s antiques dealers and small shops.

Nine members of the Woodbury Antique Dealers Association are offering diners a 10% discount on purchases if they show them their Woodbury Restaurant Week stamp card. The participating antiques dealers are Abrash Galleries, Antiquario Villas and Cottages, Charles Haver Antiques, Country Loft Antiques, Douglas Samaha Oriental Rugs, Madeline West Antiques, Martell and Suffin Antiques, Monique Shay Antiques, and Wayne Mattox Antiques.

Several small shops in Woodbury are also participating in the Woodbury Restaurant Week stamp card program. Shops include The Ruby Tree, Shop Cathy B, The Joanna John Collection, Woodbury Pewter, Woodbury Floral Design, Canfield Corner Pharmacy, The Red Barn Thrift Shop, Soulbury, Rustic Charm, Maison St. Germain, The Garden, and more.

Among the special events planned for Restaurant Week: The Glebe House Museum & Gertrude Jekyll Garden will hold an open house on Saturday, March 24, and the Grounded Goodwife is holding a “Get to Know Our Ghosts” tour at her Woodbury farmhouse. Presentation of a Woodbury Restaurant Week stamp card earns a sample of “Great Granny McWilliams’ Spring Tonic.”

The Woodbury Restaurant Week stamp card can also be used at a closing party that will be held Sunday, March 25, at Woodbury Brewing Company. Each stamp will earn a card-holder a raffle ticket for a variety of prizes from local merchants and groups, including Tricia’s Main St. Barber Shop, Monkey Bar Gymnasium, Litchfield Jazz Festival, Canfield Corner Pharmacy, and more. Additional raffle tickets can be purchased at the door, and proceeds will go to the Woodbury Food Bank.

Woodbury Restaurant Week is presented by Just Woodbury, with promotional support from the Waterbury Regional Chamber.
