NEW HOPE, PA — Two of the Delaware River Valley’s most celebrated dining destinations are teaming up to kick off the new year with a cross-river culinary showcase designed to draw food lovers from across the tri-state region.
The 2nd Annual New Hope and Lambertville Restaurant Week returns January 12 through January 25, bringing together more than two dozen restaurants, cafés, bars, and eateries on both sides of the Delaware River. The event features specially priced prix fixe lunch and dinner menus ranging from $25 to $55, with signature dishes and exclusive off-menu creations crafted specifically for the two-week celebration.
Organized by the Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Lambertville Chamber of Commerce, the event highlights the shared culinary identity of the sister river towns, long known for their walkable streets, historic charm, and diverse dining scenes.
Participating Pennsylvania restaurants include Birds Nest Bar & Grille, Black Bass Hotel, GreenHouse New Hope, Ferry + Main Restaurant at the Logan Inn, Golden Pheasant Inn, Italian Cucina, Martine’s Riverhouse, Nektar Wine Bar, OldeStone Steakhouse, River House at Odette’s, The Ferry Market, V-Spot Vegan Food Restaurant, and Clusters Handcrafted Popcorn, with additional participants expected to be announced.
On the New Jersey side, diners can explore offerings from Broadmoor Osteria Italiana, El Tule, Lambertville Station Restaurant and Inn, Metá Café, Nomad Pizza Lambertville, Pru Thai, The Salt House, The Starving Artists Cafe, and Under The Moon, with more restaurants anticipated to join.
Menus will feature three-course prix fixe options that showcase each restaurant’s culinary style, seasonal ingredients, and creative range. Organizers say diners can expect everything from casual comfort food and global flavors to fine dining experiences, paired with curated wine lists, cocktails, and desserts.
“New Hope and Lambertville Restaurant Week is the best of both worlds,” said Michael Sklar, president of the Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce. “It is a win-win for foodies and culinary enthusiasts from both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.”
Sklar said the event brings together some of the region’s most celebrated restaurants in a setting that allows diners to experience both towns in a single visit. He added that the flexibility of the event makes it appealing for everything from casual weeknight outings to special occasion dining.
Carolyn Gadbois, vice president of the Greater Lambertville Chamber of Commerce, said Restaurant Week plays a key role in supporting local restaurants during what is traditionally a slower time of year.
“Dining out during January can have a profound impact on our restaurants by keeping them steady,” Gadbois said. “By collaborating on this initiative, both chambers recognize the value of our unique restaurants and how their success strengthens the entire River Valley.”
Menus, hours, pricing, and reservation details are being posted daily in advance of the event at www.visitnewhope.com/restaurant-week and www.lambertvillechamber.com. Organizers encourage diners to make reservations early and to explore local shops, galleries, and attractions before or after their meals.
Restaurant Week is a joint initiative of Visit New Hope and Explore Lambertville, reinforcing the towns’ shared reputation as one of the region’s premier food and tourism destinations.
