Hudson Restaurant Week, the countywide event Hoboken used to join, was mostly a weekday affair. Its 2025 listing on the Hoboken Business Alliance calendar describes two weeks of discounted prix-fixe lunch and dinner menus, "primarily Monday through Friday," with some restaurants carrying deals into the weekend.
Hoboken Restaurant Week works differently, and it ends Sunday, November 22. The Hoboken Business Alliance runs it, and it doesn't use a shared prix-fixe template. Each participating business sets its own promotion, including the days and hours it applies. Some of those offers end tonight. More end tomorrow. So this weekend has its own list of deals, and the weekday list no longer applies.
The official Restaurant Week page currently lists 43 businesses for the November 9 to 22 run. It calls this the first fully Hoboken-owned and operated Restaurant Week, where participants offer "special promotions unique to their establishments." You won't find one entry ticket or a universal menu. Shop Hudson County's guide says there's no cost to take part beyond what you order. The Local Girl's calendar listing recommends reservations.
That's why the week includes things a classic restaurant week wouldn't, like a golf simulator discount at Hudson Golf, a $4 carrot cake at GTK and half-price weekday burgers at 8th Street Tavern. The HBA's stated goal is visibility for small businesses. James Runkle, president of the HBA Board of Trustees, put the stakes in numbers when he spoke with Hoboken Girl: "Over a quarter of the city's retail space is home to food and beverage establishments."
With that much retail space in food and drink, a single format would have left a lot of businesses out. A bagel counter, a raw bar and a French-Moroccan bistro don't discount the same way. The trade-off is the calendar. Thursday, Friday and the weekend each have a different set of offers.
Several offers run Monday through Thursday, so this evening is the last chance for them:
Two of the bigger dinner offers also run tonight and then skip to Sunday. Barbès, the French-Moroccan bistro at 1300 Park Avenue, and Il Tavolo di Palmisano at 700 Clinton Street each have a $45 three-course prix-fixe dinner. Shop Hudson County's guide lists both for Monday through Thursday and Sunday. So if you're thinking of a Friday or Saturday dinner at either one, the offer won't apply.
Friday, November 20, is the last day for most of the lunch and weekday-only offers. Each of these is published as weekdays or Monday through Friday:
La Bouche Cafe's 20% off dine-in food runs Tuesday through Friday, so it ends the same day. So do Dolce & Salato's weekday lunch combos on Grand Street, which Shop Hudson County lists from $14.95.
Madd Hatter at 221 Washington Street is the biggest dinner on the Friday list. For $35 you get an appetizer, salad, entrée, dessert and a drink, and Shop Hudson County lists it for Monday through Friday.
These are the offers whose published days reach into the final weekend:
| Business | Offer | Published days |
|---|---|---|
| Angelo Seafood Market, Washington Street | 15% off dine-in raw bar orders | Friday through Monday |
| Dolce & Salato, Grand Street | Truffle pasta special | Weekends |
| La Hueca Picantería, First Street | 20% off the menu, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. | Tuesday through Saturday |
| River Street Garage, River Street | Happy-hour specials | Tuesday through Sunday |
| Barbès, 1300 Park Avenue | $45 three-course prix-fixe dinner | Monday through Thursday and Sunday |
| Il Tavolo di Palmisano, 700 Clinton Street | $45 three-course prix-fixe dinner | Monday through Thursday and Sunday |
That gives each day a clear shape. Saturday's offers run from La Hueca's lunch window and Angelo's raw bar to Dolce & Salato's truffle pasta, with happy hour at River Street Garage later in the day. Sunday has the most dinner options of the weekend, since Barbès and Il Tavolo di Palmisano bring back their $45 menus for the event's last night. Angelo's raw bar discount runs Friday through Monday, but it still stops when the week ends on Sunday.
Brass Rail on Washington Street has a $30 prix-fixe brunch and a $40 prix-fixe dinner. Its listing doesn't give days, so call ahead before planning around it.
The rest of the roster publishes offers without day limits, and that's where most of the weekend's three-course meals are. By price:
That list covers more than half the price range of the whole event in one weekend. Halifax's $49 dinner is the highest price on the roster. Its $35 lunch costs $10 less than the Sunday-only dinners at Barbès and Il Tavolo.
Lunch fills out the weekend at the low end. Boomerang Bites on Newark Street has a $16 lunch, which Shop Hudson County describes as a meat pie or sausage roll with a drink and a signature bite. Empanadas Cafe offers two empanadas and a black coffee for $10.99, and SouzaFit has a $19.99 combo with a meal, juice and a cookie or muffin. Uncle Rocco on Willow Avenue takes 20% off dine-in and website orders, and Shaka Kitchen on Monroe Street takes 15% off small bites. Both list their offers as running all week.
If you're hosting this weekend, the bakeries have offers made for taking home. Carlo's Bakery at 95 Washington Street has a limited-edition crumb cake and a $19.10 "Taste of Hoboken" box. Dän Bakery & Cafe has a signature cake box listed at $20 with 30% off, and GTK's $4 carrot cake comes with an online-order code. For an afternoon away from the table, Hudson Golf has discounted simulator rentals, which Shop Hudson County puts at $70 an hour instead of $90.
The HBA says the week is meant to get people to try "somewhere new," and some of Hoboken's newest spots aren't on the roster at all. From Duo, the matcha shop at 205 12th Street that was formerly called Duo Donuts + Matcha, soft-opened October 31, according to Hoboken Girl's November 5 roundup of new businesses. Its owners have told Hoboken Girl about plans for hojicha, teas, coffees and baked goods, including some donuts. Two blocks south, at 219 11th Street, the former Johnny Pepperoni space is becoming Falchetta, an Italian steakhouse. The same roundup reports its owners are hoping to open in December. Downtown, Papa Ganache, a vegan and gluten-free bakery, has leased 509 Washington Street, with indoor seating and a rear garden planned, Hoboken Girl reports.
The HBA's other fall program also targets storefronts. In October it launched a $100,000 storefront improvement grant that covers up to half of a project's cost, capped at $10,000, for work like signage, façades and outdoor seating.
If you're walking the waterfront to an uptown dinner this weekend, plan for the detour. The Hudson River Waterfront Walkway at Harborside Park, between 16th Street and the Weehawken line, is on a temporary shared-use path that started around November 2 and is expected to last about three months, according to the City of Hoboken's construction updates. Cyclists have to dismount on the detour path.
