Savor the Bronx restaurant week is back and better than ever. While the event has been on hiatus for a few years, The Bronx Tourism Council and The Office of Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson have decided it is time for it to return. Taking place from February 18 through February 23, 2025, the restaurant week is an opportunity for all Bronx eateries to take part in.

With storefronts in The Bronx being taken up largely by restaurants according to the New York Times, the “flavors of The Bronx” are diverse as ever. The old school Italian food on Arthur Avenue and the myriad of Hispanic food varieties available in the borough are just a few examples of that.

All kinds of restaurants in The Bronx — big or small, and any kind of food — are invited to apply to Savor the Bronx. There is no fee to take part in the event; all the restaurants are asked to offer is a pre fixe menu. The deadline application is coming up on January 31, 2025.

Late February tends to be a time in which less people eat out; we strongly encourage all residents and visitors of the borough to explore new restaurants during Savor the Bronx. Check out all the restaurants that have signed up so far:
