Jim Flynn, chair of the weeklong event, said this week is a great opportunity for people to “go beyond their normal five-mile radius and try new restaurants.”

“It is also a chance to sample meals from restaurants they may have perceived as ‘too expensive.’ For the restaurants, Restaurant Week comes at traditionally slow periods of the year, so it is a great business booster in a slow time period,” he said.
