Get out and taste a new place! Make a date or bring the family.”

Greater Northampton Area Restaurant Week is a great opportunity for the community to come together while supporting the local economy and uniting the neighborhoods that make up the Northampton Area School District.

It’s a chance to dive headfirst into flavor town and explore the diverse and delicious cuisine that our fantastic local restaurants have to offer at a great value.

“Not only will you get to tantalize your taste buds with exciting dishes and offers, but you’ll also be supporting the local establishments that make our area so unique,” Kerper added. “Come on out and join the flavor revolution during Restaurant Week, March 5-11!“
