Taste The City - Restaurant Week GR is Coming
Monday, August 08, 2016
Hey friends,
The countdown is on for Restaurant Week GR 2016 and my mouth is already starting to water as I look through the menus. August 10th through the 21st, you can experience an assortment of farm-to-table creations around the city of Grand Rapids and Kent County. The 11 day event started in 2010 and has been a local favorite ever since. It is presented by Experience Grand Rapids and other local sponsors with $1 of every meal sold donated to the Secchia Institute of Culinary Education Student Scholarship Fund at Grand Rapids Community College.
The Price:
$28 will get you a 3-course meal at participating restaurants
Or... two meals for $28
