Itâ€s January and the winter blahs are knocking on the door, but that doesnâ€t mean you have to sit home with another Lean Cuisine. Why not skip the frozen dinner, throw on your overcoat and head out for some yummy neighborhood dining during Hudson Restaurant Week and a night of yummy delights at A Taste of Hoboken. Both events are a terrific way to spice up these cold wintery days – and nights.

 On Tues, Jan. 22, A Taste of Hoboken, the Hoboken-North Hudson YMCA’s annual gala fundraiser celebrates its 22^nd anniversary. It will be held at Stevens Institute of Technologyâ€s Canavan Arena in Hoboken with 40 restaurants, bakeries and cafes participating. These eateries will be offering tasty bites from the dishes on their menus and some chef surprises, too.  And for the first time since A Taste of Hoboken started all those years ago guests will have the opportunity to sample beer and wine from all over the world. 

 Proceeds from A Taste of Hoboken will go to the Hoboken-North Hudson YMCA which recently received the approval of a $500,000 grant by the Hoboken City Council to finish the $15 million construction of new “single apartments” at the Yâ€s Washington Street location.

 Tickets to A Taste of Hoboken are $60 for general admission; $80 if you want to go to the 6 pm Champagne Reception prior to the gala. Tickets can be purchased online at Brown Paper Tickets. If you decide to get your tickets at the door, add $10 to those ticket prices. And donâ€t forget to bring your dancing shoes! Music will be provided by Swingadelic.

Less than a week later, starting Mon, Jan. 28 and running through Fri, Feb. 8^th more than 35 eateries in Hoboken, Jersey City, Bayonne and Weehawken will serve up prix-fix menus at discount prices. Lunches will start at $12 and dinners will cost no more than $35, not including alcohol, taxes or gratuities.

Hudson Restaurant Week began in 2005 as a culinary celebration to promote Hudson County as a premier dining destination in New Jersey. Held twice during the year, in January and July, Hudson Restaurant Week continues to gain popularity and attract foodies from all over the tri-state area.  

Every year new restaurants jump on board, too, and this yearâ€s newbies are The Fig Tree, Raaz, Ruthâ€s Chris Steak House, Pilsener Haus, Las Olas Sushi, VB3, Goodfellas, O’Hara’s Downtown, and Skylark on the Hudson. Eateries that are back for another year include 3Forty Grill, Amandaâ€s, Chart House, Maritime Parc, Liberty House and Light Horse Tavern. To see a full list of participating restaurants visit www.hudsonrestaurantweek.com.

Hudson Restaurant Weekâ€s organizer Tamara Remedios of Xplore Communications offers some fun aspects to Hudson Restaurant Week with“Tweet from your Seat” where if you tweet #hudsonrw from your seat you might be eligible to have your meal free. You can use that same hashtag — #hudsonrw – and instagram your food photos.

“We are excited to celebrate Restaurant Week for its ninth year,” Remedios says. “It has become a part of Hudson County culture to celebrate the culinary scene and support our local economy. Now, especially after Sandy, our community businesses need help recovering. So we encourage all to eat and shop local this year.”

The post Calling all Foodies! Hudson Restaurant Week and A Taste of Hoboken invite Foodies to Feast first appeared on River View Observer.

By Sally Deering

Are you feeling the January blahs that seem to come right after the holiday highs? No need to hide under the covers on these cold winter nights watching other people have fun on TV. Put on your galoshes and wooly muffs and go somewhere new, sip a trendy ‘tini, taste a new delish dish!

On Mon, Jan. 23^rd and running through Fri, Feb. 3^rd, a select group of Hudsonâ€s restaurants, bistros and bars will participate in Hudson Restaurant Week, where they will serve a discounted prix fixe menu and for one (low) price you get a delicious meal with all the fixings. There are some great restaurants participating this year and a juicy promotion:  When you “Tweet from Your Seat” using #hudsonrw, youâ€re entered to have your meal free. Nice, huh! Just make sure to always tip your wait person!

Hudson Restaurant Week was started and sponsored by Tamara Remidios of Xplore Communications, a promotional company that produces magazines and websites. In Hoboken, restaurants participating in Hudson Restaurant Week will include 3Forty Grill; Amandaâ€s, Bistro La Source, Brass Rail, Clinton Social, Dino & Harryâ€s, Elysian Café, Gaslight, The Madison, OddFellows Rest, The Quays, Trinity, West Five Supper Club, Wicked Wolf Tavern and Zylo Tuscan Steak House.

In Weehawken, the Chart House with its beautiful views of the New York Skyline and Hudson River and its seafood menu might entice you – thereâ€s valet parking, too!  And why not try these restaurants in Jersey City: Boca Grande, Box, Casa Dante, Cityside Bistro, La Conquita, Edwardâ€s Steakhouse,  Hamilton Inn, Henryâ€s on the Hudson, Komegashi and Komegashi Too, Liberty House, Light Horse Tavern, Maritime Parc, MichaelAnthonyâ€s, Oâ€Connellâ€s, Porto Leggero, Port-O Lounge, Satis Bistro, Sawadee, Sky Thai, The Merchant and The Embankment.

David Oâ€Brien, owner of The Merchant and The Embankment restaurants has been participating in Hudson Restaurant Week since it began six years ago.

“It definitely increases business and brings in people from out of town,” Oâ€Brien says.

Hudson Restaurant Week allows local restaurants the chance to advertise and showcase the restaurant, Oâ€Brien says, and although restaurants pay to participate, itâ€s well worth the fee.

Instead of offering customers choices from an abridged menu for Hudson Restaurant Week, Oâ€Brien will offers customers at both The Merchant and The Embankment a very sweet deal:  they can choose an appetizer, entrée and dessert – three courses for $25.

“Most of the restaurants do a limited menu, but when we did a limited menu, we would run out of food,” Oâ€Brien says. “We started to get really busy when we offered our entire menu.”

The main reason Oâ€Brien participates in Hudson Restaurant Week is to bring new people to his restaurants and give them the opportunity to taste his food.

“We have to pay to be part of it and we make some money, not a lot, but we know weâ€re targeting customers,” Oâ€Brien says. “This event guarantees the customers will walk through the door, but itâ€s our job to make them return. The idea is to convert them into regulars.”
