You may or not know that I (Emily, formerly known as 'Skitter') am from Long Island, which means that most of the annual events in Binghamton are very new to me. (What is a Speidie?!)

This year, I'm so excited to participate in my first ever Restaurant Week!

Monday, I will be visiting Galaxy Brewing Company for dinner! I've heard great things about it and I'm very excited! Maybe I'll see you there!

Restaurant Week is such a great idea to me and I'm so happy to be part of a community that offers something like this! In fact, if it weren't for Restaurant Week, I'm not sure when I'd get a chance to make it to Galaxy!

It gives everybody - local and not - a chance to experience all of the great local restaurants Downtown Binghamton has to offer! Plus, some of the proceeds benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Binghamton and Broome Country, so you're also giving back! Take a bite out of that!

Don't forget - Restaurant Week ends this Thursday, April 2nd! Make sure you check out the list of restaurants participating!

Go for lunch, dinner, or both! It's a great time, where you can see tons of local friends, and enjoy a delicious meal!
