Regional Restaurant Week is Here! June 7-11
|
The Neponset River Regional Chamber is pleased to announce that, working with the towns of Canton, Dedham, Norwood and Westwood, the Chamber will run a “Regional Restaurant Week” from June 7 through June 11. The initiative is made possible in part by a grant received from the Massachusetts Office of Business Development (MOBD) 2021 Regional Pilot program, geared toward helping small businesses recover from COVID.
Make it a point to support our local restaurants by dining out as often as you can during the week, and of course, to continue doing so afterwards.
Visit our “Regional Restaurant Week” webpage at nrrchamber.com. It lists all participating restaurants, their special offers and links to their websites.
A social media campaign will be executed using Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Diners are encouraged to post selfies on their social media platforms as they dine out.
Among the restaurants participating are Blue Ribbon BBQ, Casa Loca, Lewis’, C.F. McCarthy’s, Il Massimo, One Bistro and many more.
