Restaurant Week 2024

Welcome to NCJ Restaurant Week!

Are you waiting for a special occasion to go out? Because here it is: NCJ Restaurant Week. We promise the frozen pizza in your fridge will wait. But not this 10-day celebration of local restaurants and the joy of tucking a napkin in your collar before tucking into the special. Once you’ve picked a spot for the day, no agonizing choices are required. Limited-time specials run the gamut from stacked burgers to creamy pastas, fusion tacos and classic cocktails. Hey, you want the lobster? Order the lobster, baby — it’s NCJ Restaurant Week (*ties on bib, shoots finger guns).

Bon appétit, Humboldt.

NCJ Restaurant Week Pro Tips

SOMETIMES RESTAURANTS RUN OUT.

Because kitchens aren’t staffed with genies and supplies are not infinite, a given restaurant could run out of its #NCJRestaurantWeek meals toward the end of a shift. If that happens, know that we feel your pain and it’s going to be OK. There’s always a tomorrow when you can come back and order the meal we all want you to have. Don’t let your hangry self get the better of you and remember that making and serving your food is a noble calling. Be kind to those doing this important work.

YES, YOU MAY HAVE TO WAIT.

As mentioned above, folks are excited for #NCJRestaurantWeek. As during NCJ Burger Week, your favorite participating spot may go from sleepy to packed. Don’t be surprised if you have to wait a little. Treat yourself to a beverage. Revel in the anticipation. And when your food shows up in all its delicious glory, post about it on social media using #NCJRestaurantWeek. There could be prizes.

20 percent and walk out with your head held high, making your parents and the NCJ team proud. Your restaurant purveyors will remember it when you come back.

YOU SHOULD GET A LITTLE SOMETHING ON THE SIDE, TOO. You’re not required to buy anything else but can you really say you’ve had the full experience without a beverage or a dessert? This is the perfect time to try out the other goodies our restaurant pals are cooking up while showing a little love to local businesses. Is there craft beer on the menu? Milkshake? Live a little.

KEEP UP WITH THE MADNESS ON FACEBOOK. AND INSTAGRAM.

#NCJRestaurantWeek is on Facebook and Instagram. Follow us and get up-to-date info on everything #NCJRestaurantWeek while you peruse the foodporn. And don’t be shy — join the fun and share your own restaurant photos using #NCJRestaurantWeek.

NOT TIPPING MAKES YOU THAT CUSTOMER. DON’T BE THAT CUSTOMER.

We all get caught up in the excitement of a deal. But don’t lose your manners and remember the folks cooking and serving are handling more orders than usual. Tip at least

Meet Dev

After 17 years of teaching at McKinleyville High, Devon Van Dam rediscovered her love for growing flowers. With family support, she built a studio and greenhouse from upcycled materials, including old-growth redwood shingles from Alves.

Devon began her floral journey with weddings at the Lost Whale Inn and arrangements for Moonstone Grill. In 2018, Nelson at Murphy’s Market in Trinidad honored her by asking to sell her bouquets at the market. Since moving here in 1999, Murphy’s Market has been a cornerstone in her life, where sta treated her and her daughter like family. Devon fondly remembers checker Moe, who entertained her daughter at the register, making shopping a joy.

At Moonstone in Bloom, Devon grows many of her flowers, infusing each arrangement with love and care. Visit Murphy’s to pick up a bouquet of Moonstone in Bloom flowers cultivated with passion!
