These post-holiday weeks can be tough — getting back into the groove of a regular schedule and trading in your party shoes for gym sneakers. {Or barre socks and spin shoes.} But good news — the runner up for the best time of year is just around the corner — Hudson Restaurant Week 2020. Hudson Restaurant Week is the bi-annual food spectacular that happens throughout Hudson County and the winter season’s Hudson Restaurant Week runs from January 27th to February 7th. This is Hudson Restaurant Week’s 16th year and this is the largest HRW to date, with 60+ restaurants participating, and many hitting the list for the first time. Each restaurant will be offering a pre-fix menu only available during HRW — a much-needed winter treat.
See the full list of participating Hudson Restaurant Week restaurants here.
