Even though it doesn't technically begin until the end of the weekend on Sunday, I thought Restaurant Week deserved special attention in the South Jersey Weekend Happenings.

Atlantic City Restaurant Week is a week long celebration of the culinary arts and foodie scene in and around Atlantic City. A.C. Restaurant Week has become one of the most successful and delicious food festivals in the country.

Over 70 Atlantic City area restaurants will create special dishes at discounted prices of $15.16 for lunch and $33.16 for dinner all this week. Some restaurants bring in live entertainment, create specially-themed nights and really take the opportunity to display their culinary genius!

The annual Atlantic City Restaurant Week starts Sunday, March 6 and continues through Saturday, March12. Bon appétit!
