Restaurant Week

It's time to go out. Several of Howard's pricier restaurants are offering three-course meals for $30.08 from July 21 to Aug. 3 as part of the county's first restaurant week. Many establishments are also offering a two-course lunch for $20.08.

While not exactly cheap, those prices are less expensive than one might ordinarily pay.

The Sun says Howard is sometimes perceived as a haven for chain restaurants, but the campaign is an attempt to show off some of our locally owned restaurants.

Tourism officials are also encouraging restaurant patrons to take pictures of themselves partaking in restaurant week, with the restaurant identified in the photo. Diners shown at the most participating restaurants will be entered to win a $100 gas card..
