What I love about Local Restaurant Week is seeing the diverse range of businesses that participate in the initiative. From casual dining at The Place to a bit more of an upscale excursion at Oshun, there’s something for everyone no matter their culinary preferences (see the list of options here).
Restaurant Week is a biannual occurrence that gives diners a chance to explore their culinary surroundings, without spending an arm and a leg. It’s a great way to learn about new eateries and the foods that they are preparing. The $20.15 ticket reflects the respective year in which the promotion is running, which means that each year the cost of the meal only goes up by one penny.
Along with an affordable price, the money that is spent at the restaurants stays right here in Buffalo due to the fact that these are all privately owned and operated establishments.
Hopefully, the restaurants that participate in the week-long event take full advantage of the promotion, making the dining experience for the customers as pleasant and rewarding as possible.
