Nyack Restaurant week has returned for another year and is underway now through May 1 with about three dozen restaurants and nearly two dozen other retail businesses participating.
Dolce Vita is one of those restaurants.
The owner, Sadik Demir, says the first night on Wednesday was a success.
"It was a full bar, full dining room, people we're waiting for a table," said Demir. "A lot of new faces. They had never been here before. It was their first time trying which is amazing."
Dolce Vita is offering a discount on the final bill.
Other establishments are doing the same or have a special prix fixe menu.
Mark Davidoff was one of the original organizers for the week-long event when it started five years ago with 16 restaurants.
Over time, he says restaurants have tracked customer increases between 10% to 50% during that week.
Adding "Visit Nyack", which promotes tourism, gets more web traffic to their site, too.
By Land & Sea, a boutique on Broadway in the village, is one small business collaborating by offering a discount when shoppers show a restaurant receipt.
News 12 spoke with owner Lindsay Owen, "I think the more that all the different groups and businesses can work together to make our village a true destination, the better!"
Here's more on what's being offered and when for Nyack Restaurant Week.
