(BURLINGTON, NJ) --  Pizza and pancakes, lobster and cheesecake, microbrews and mango lassi — these are a few of the favorite food items you’ll find at the 2018 Burlington Restaurant Ramble running May 18-27 in Burlington, NJ. Presented by Arts Guild New Jersey, the Ramble is a 10-day, two-weekend invitation to sample the top-quality cuisine of 22 area restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, pubs and ice cream parlors. 

“We want to introduce visitors across the region to Burlington’s culinary diversity,” says Lawrence McCullough, Arts Guild New Jersey’s executive director. “And after they’ve dined, we know they’ll want to explore our many arts events and history attractions.”

From May 18-27, when a customer makes a food or beverage purchase at a participating Restaurant Ramble eatery, they receive a stamp on a Restaurant Ramble Passport; three stamps from three eateries, and the Passport can be entered into a drawing for prizes. Each restaurant will have its own specials and discounts throughout the 10 days. 

There is no separate cost to obtain a Restaurant Ramble Passport, which can be downloaded for free at the Arts Guild New Jersey website www.artsguildnj.org. Links to participating restaurants and their menus are also available on the site. 

The 2018 Burlington Restaurant Ramble is one of several gala events Burlington hosts in May, starting May 12 with the Ship-to-Shore Festival and Jeeps on the Waterfront, the Burlington Day One World Festival and 5K Run on May 19, the May 20 Antique Show & Garden Market at Historic Burlington Antiques and Art Emporium and a May 20 special workshop by Broadway props and special effects artist Jennie Marino at Lyceum Hall Center for the Arts, a May 24 Summer Concert on the Waterfront and the annual Memorial Day Parade set for May 28.

“People are eager to visit locales that offer new activities,” says McCullough. “Burlington Restaurant Ramble is a perfect way to do that while enjoying a great eating experience.”
