5 Reasons to Love Binghamton Restaurant Week

Binghamton Restaurant Week only comes twice a year and is hailed by food lovers, students and families that love good food alike.  The event has grown every year and this year, there are a record number of restaurants participating and bringing many first time Binghamton restaurant-goers to our downtown area.

Food lovers can bite into their favorite Binghamton restaurants at a fixed price for 10 days, April 5-14th.  There's a nice variety of restaurants on the map within downtown and outside of downtown city limits.

There are a number of new restaurants in the mix this year, which is always a good thing because Binghamton has so many great dining options.  It's a showcase of good food and you blend that with good friends and family, and a good price for 3 course meal, you can't go wrong.

Here are the 5 reasons I look forward to Binghamton Restaurant Week:

1. Amazing Food.  It lets me taste all the new food Binghamton has to offer. With so many returning favorites and new restaurant options, it's going to be a touch decision for lunch and dinner
2. Support Local.  The chain restaurants are pretty much all the same and always predictable.  Local means fresh, new and interesting.  And local stays here in the community.
3. Helping Local Charities.  This year, the Handicapped Children's Association and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Binghamton will be supported by the event.  Hey, you have to eat, so why not help a needy charity at the same time.
4. Easy Planning.  They have a great looking new web site EatBing.com that lets you look at the menu before you go.  This will help you decide where to go for lunch and dinner this week.
5. More Visitors to Binghamton.  Restaurants have really changed the downtown Binghamton landscape.  People love good food and that brings people to Binghamton.  I like that!
