‘Dine In Brooklyn’ a huge boost to local restaurants, a hit with foodies
“Dine In Brooklyn” is back and participating restaurants could not be happier, as the event invites one of the busiest times of the year for the eateries involved.
“We were involved last year and we couldn’t wait to do it again because our business literally exploded,” said Mark Simmons, owner and chef at Kiwiana on Union Street. “It not only helps to bring in lots of new customers, but we also try out different things on our menu so our regulars really enjoy it, too.”
Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz kicked off the event with a tasting at Brooklyn Borough Hall on Tuesday. Twenty-three of the approximately 200 participating restaurateurs were on hand to give out samples to promote the event, which will run from March 11 – March 21.
