Three Merrimack restaurants are joining more than 45 others in the region in the first-ever statewide Restaurant week scheduled for May 18-25. The event is expected to bring new patrons to restaurants and help give returning customers the opportunity to try something new. The eight-day event, hosted by the New Hampshire Lodging & Restaurant Association, features more than 150 restaurants across the state, and restaurants presenting lunch and/or dinner at three price point, according to a press release sent earlier this month.

“New Hampshire residents know that there are so many amazing restaurants in the Merrimack Valley,” said Mike Somers, president and CEO of the NHLRA. “We think Restaurant Week is the perfect time for people to go out and try
some of the restaurants they haven’t had the chance to try yet. We’re certain that a lot of foodies will be impressed by what New Hampshire chefs are planning for the event.” A mobile-friendly restaurant finder at RestaurantWeekNH.com makes it easy and fun for diners to find the eateries that best complement their appetites.

Not only is the NHLRA encouraging residents and visitors to try a few different restaurants in their own neighborhoods, but Restaurant Week “foodie getaways” are geared toward dining fans looking to feast on three-course meals in other areas of the Granite State. Significant discounts on lodging can be found at 18 participating hotels around the state.
