That’s the concept behind the inaugural Newport Beach Restaurant Month that starts Sept. 1 and runs through Sept. 30.
More than 60 restaurants are participating, but unlike the Newport Beach Restaurant Week held every January that features special prix-fixe menus, this month-long dining extravaganza adds a digital component.
Created to help celebrate and publicize the city’s variety of dining options and bring patrons to the restaurants for dine-in experiences or take-out, Newport Beach Restaurant Month features a digital Dine Pass that houses an all-inclusive epicurean directory to participating restaurants.
After signing up, patrons will unlock a variety of exclusive offers and opportunities to win daily foodie prizes and weekly grand vacations. Whether dining in our taking a meal to go, guests have an opportunity to win by “checking-in” to a restaurant.
To participate, www.VisitNewportBeach.com/Restaurant-Month and sign-up for a Newport Beach Restaurant Month Dine Pass. The pass is instantly delivered via text and email and is ready to use.
Browse participating restaurants for al fresco dining or take-out options, then click the “Check-In” button when you arrive at the restaurant to redeem exclusive offers and to be registered for daily giveaways and vacation stays in Newport Beach.
