Local Restaurant Week - we love it. It gives diners the chance to try new places at a low price of $20.10 for at least one entree in each participating restaurant (though many offer more), and it brings plenty of new customers into the restaurants. Everybody wins!

The brainchild of Sea Bar owner Mike Andrezjewski, in conjunction with WNY Chapter of the New York State Restaurant Association President Peter Longo and Treasurer of the New York State Restaurant Association Daniel Garvey, Restaurant Week began last winter, and turned into a twice yearly event.
Check out the list, including restaurants as far away as Rochester, and make your game-plan for visiting as many restaurants as you can that week. Interested restaurants can still sign up, so check back often.
