New Dorps first restaurant crawl begins today at 2pm!

The idea may have started from the original North Shore restaurant crawl – this time it is in New Dorp.  The location may seem better as there are no cars involved, every restaurant is walking distance so no need to search for parking.  $10 per person is the cover charge to sample a wide diversity of restaurants on New Dorp.

There is everything from a few pizzeria’s all with different specialty offerings, a few Asian cuisine, American Bakeries and sandwich shops, Italian Fine Dining, a Greek Diner, a dessert cafe, Indian food and even a Mediterranean place and a Vietnamese place – all within walking distance.  Let’s do a run down of each place that is participating and offering a sample during the crawl.
