Mornin’!

First, LBI Restaurant Week continues through this weekend (reminder: the easiest way to view all the participating restaurants and their menus is to visit the LBI Bites Facebook page found here. You’ll find all restaurants pinned right at the top of the group.)

Second, our year-end survey asked you which events you’d like to see us involved with in 2025. Happy hours, cheese tastings, and wine tastings were the top 3 winners (no surprise there TBH 😂 ). So over the next few weeks, we’ll be gathering your feedback as we look to host our first event. Your input will help guide us so please vote if you’re interested in attending!

Now, here’s what’s happening this week…
