Week-long dining extravaganza sizzles with special offerings to drive patrons to downtown Raleigh
RALEIGH, NC? ? Foodies rejoice with the return of Downtown Raleigh Restaurant Week, a Downtown Raleigh Alliance (DRA) merchant program, scheduled for Monday, August 19-Sunday, August 25, 2013. To celebrate the event?s fifth year, the DRA launched a brand new website, DineDowntownRaleigh.com, to better showcase the popular event.? Each year, Restaurant Week invites patrons to renew their inner foodie and take advantage of the special offerings at participating downtown Raleigh restaurants during their normal dinner hours.
Participating dining establishments will offer tantalizing, three-course prix fixe dinners for either $20 or $30 per person, depending on the venue (tax, tip, and beverages not included). Select venues will offer a three-course beer or wine pairings for an additional $10 per person. Several venues will offer a $15 appetizer sampler featuring three appetizers with a selection of at least four options.? Although no tickets are required, reservations are strongly recommended (when applicable).
In addition to showcasing downtown Raleigh?s great dining options, Downtown Raleigh Restaurant Week will spur both locals and out of town diners to revisit old favorites and, best of all, try new places. Downtown Raleigh restaurateurs praise the program as a great opportunity to increase customer loyalty through creative menu offerings and to stimulate growth during a season lull.
?Downtown Raleigh Restaurant Week gives us the opportunity to reach new patrons and celebrate the brilliant chefs and restaurants in our community,? said Niall Hanley, Bia Restaurant owner. ?It?s always a busy week for us, and we look forward to it every year.?
To increase awareness, the DRA launched the new Downtown Raleigh Restaurant Week website, DineDowntownRaleigh.com, with a sleek look and added functionality. Designed with the diner in mind, user-friendly features include: ease of navigation for visitors to find pertinent information in a quick and simple process; social media engagement to deliver real-time updates to the community via Twitter as well as instant access to Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook; menus posted as they are received; online reservation links powered by OpenTable.com (when applicable); and an interactive map to plan your restaurant route, parking, and means of transportation.
