Chamber: No Kings Park Restaurant Week
Lack of funding and mild interest cited as reasons.
A lack of funding and interest has put the kibosh on this year’s restaurant week in Kings Park.

Jack Hessel, chamber vice president, said most restaurants were not interested,
“It just didn’t go over,” said Hessel. “We didn’t see the return on ads with the money that was spent.”
