Main Street in New Hope, Pennsylvania.

New Hope, PA, and Lambertville, NJ, sit directly across from each other on either side of the Delaware River. The two quaint towns aren't just linked by a pedestrian-friendly bridge; they also share downtown atmospheres, mom-and-pop boutiques and an abundance of art galleries.

This month they're teaming up for their 6th Annual Restaurant Week. From March 22 through March 26 local restaurants will offer $30 prix-fixe fine dining menus and $20 prix-fixe casual dining menus.

Lambertville standbys like Bell's Tavern, D'floret and Lambertville Station are among more than a dozen restaurants participating so far. Golden Pheasant Inn, The Raven Resort and Triumph Brewing Company are among New Hope's selections.

In a statement announcing the event, the Greater Lambertville-New Hope Chamber of Commerce said they would work with local retailers to stay open later during restaurant week so diners could fully enjoy the towns' recreational offerings. After all, if the weather holds up you'll want to take a look around the area's shopping opportunities.
