BITES continued from page 13 up to an hour radius or more, confirming the role of Metuchen as a booming dining destination in New Jersey. “Of the businesses that participated in the 2022 Winter Restaurant Week, 100% of them said they want to participate in an upcoming event. The money that restaurants make during a promotion like this can help them get through quieter times of the year. “It also helps to expand the visibility of the district and attract return customers,” Kremer said. Although a date hasn’t been determined yet, DiCosmo’s will also be participating with its own special offers. Customers both familiar and unfamiliar with the shop will soon have an opportunity to partake in the promotional event. According to Eileen, updates regarding the event will be posted on their social media accounts. ■
