Eat Your Way Around Argenta During Upcoming Restaurant Week
Argenta Restaurant Week is rapidly approaching and our stomachs are beginning to growl. From January 21-26, participating Argenta Restaurants will offer special $8 two-course lunch menus, and $25 three-course, prix fixe dinner menus, along with their regular menus. The four year old celebration showcases the Argenta Arts District in downtown North Little Rock as a premier dining and arts destination.

The South has rich traditions - friendliness, influential music, spirituality, storytelling and closeness to the land.
