Savor the Bronx, an annual event that encourages people to try new restaurants and cuisines for an affordable price, will be making a return—and will take place between Feb. 18-23 next year.

After a two-year pause, the Bronx Tourism Council and the Office of the Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson have decided to bring it back.

If you’re not familiar with it, Savor the Bronx restaurant week is a six-day event designed to provide restaurants with a vehicle to market to potential new customers while, at the same time, offering food lovers an opportunity to discover new eateries in the borough. Participating restaurants do not pay a fee; the cost of inclusion is simply a commitment to offering either a prix fixe menu or a discount for a meal, not including tax or beverages.

All the information about the event, including the application form, can be found on ilovethebronx.com under “Events.” In order to participate, restaurants must send in an application by Jan. 31, 2025.

Additionally, the Bronx Tourism Council is offering sponsorship opportunities. If you are interested in sponsoring Savor the Bronx, see our sponsorship opportunities on ilovethebronx.com. You can reach out to Julius Drake at jdrake@bxedc.org with additional questions.

Those interested in dining with us should note that we are currently in the planning phase of Savor the Bronx, but more information on the event will be made available soon!
