The Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce will showcase restaurant staffs as well as apple and pumpkin-themed food and drink during the new Fall Lake George Region Restaurant Appreciation Weeks.
This year would have marked the 15th annual Lake George Region Restaurant Week semi-annual promotion in which participating restaurants traditionally offer a prix fixe three-course meal for a set price that corresponds with the year. This promotion usually takes place during the slower-paced weeks in June and September.
Officials said that instead of the prix fixe promotion, this year during what will be a two-week promotion, participating restaurants will offer a mix of beverages, appetizers, entrées and desserts with specified themes as follows: Week 1, Sept. 13-19, apple themed food; and week 2, Sept. 20-26, pumpkin themed food.
People who dine at participating restaurants and post pictures of their meals, beverages, or gift card purchases on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter and write #DineLGR will be eligible to win a $25 gift card. Each participating restaurant is offering a gift card as a prize.
In addition, the Chamber will showcase the restaurant staff who have been working to provide people with safe and satisfying dining experiences during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Amid current conditions and with feedback from our member restaurants, we wanted to re-imagine this promotion into a creative event that would have a virtual component and encourage people to celebrate the people and ingenuity in the local restaurant industry,” said Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Gina Mintzer.
So far, nine Chamber member restaurants have signed up to participate. Restaurants must be members of the Chamber to participate. The participants in Glens Falls, Queensbury and Lake George include: Adirondack Pub & Brewery, the Boathouse Restaurant, the Docksider Restaurant, the View at Dunham’s Bay, the Lobster Pot, the Log Jam Restaurant, Mario’s Restaurant, the Moose Tooth Grill and Park 26.
