That’s right!  Eat Your City Restaurant Week officially began yesterday!  Mayor and City Council have even proclaimed August 1-7, 2010 as Eat Your City Week.

We encourage you to head out to the participating restaurants and have a great meal.  Call ahead and make reservations as some of the restaurants are often quite busy.  And if you do head out and the restaurant hasn’t provided you with an Eat Your City menu….just ask!
