Spring finally starts this Friday, March 20, and there are plenty of things to do to celebrate. This week, mushroom, oyster, and bacon lovers all have something to be happy about, and if you’ve got a wider range of tastes, well, you’re all set, too, given that three local regions are hosting their restaurant weeks next week. Have fun!
Restaurant Weeks Galore. This coming week is a great week for food lovers. The 6th Annual New Hope & Lambertville Restaurant Week starts this Sunday, March 22 and concludes on Thursday, March 26. Most participating restaurants will offer a $30 prix fixe fine dining menu or a $20 casual dining menu. New Hope restaurants on the lineup include: Bitter Bob’s, the Black Bass, Cafe Blue Moose, the Golden Pheasant Inn, the Inn at Phillip’s Mill, Italian Cucina, Karla’s Restaurant & Bar, the Logan Inn, Marsha Brown, Martine’s Riverhouse Restaurant & Bar, Mojito Cuba Caribe, Sprig & Vine, the Raven Resort, Triumph Brewing Company, and Zoubi.

But that’s not all. Both Flemington Restaurant Week and Frenchtown Restaurant Week are slated for Monday, March 23 through Sunday, March 29. See what our friends at Hunterdon County Taste have to say about the details.
Oysters. We know we already told you about this last week, but it carries over into this week’s calendar. Hamilton’s Grill Room’s Annual Oyster Dinner has its last night this Thursday, March 19. Each night includes a tasting of East Coast and West Coast oysters, plus a four course oyster-centric dinner. See the full menu here.
Mushrooms. Down to Earth Cafe‘s 2nd annual Mushroom Fest continues every day this week through Sunday, March 22. Their breakfast and lunch specials feature all types of mushrooms, and this Friday night, March 20, they’ll be open for a four-course $40 prix fixe dinner all built around… you guessed it, mushrooms.
Here’s what you’ll find at area farmers’ markets: Apples, beets, butternut squash, carrots, celeriac (celery root), cheese pumpkins, collard greens, herbs, kale, kohlrabi, leeks, micro-greens, mushrooms, napa cabbage, onions, potatoes, rutabaga, salad greens, strawberries (frozen), sweet potatoes, turnips, radishes, and wheatgrass.
Most markets will also have eggs from free-range chickens, grass-fed and pastured meats, preserves, specialty foods, baked goods like breads, cakes, cookies and pastries, cheese and yogurt, cider and juice, sauces locally roasted coffee, and interesting crafts from local artisans.
