Harrisburg, I hope you’re hungry.
Starting on Monday, the city began celebrating Harrisburg Restaurant Week, which runs Sept. 12 to 16 and 19 to 23. The two-week event, hosted by the Downtown Improvement District (DID), spotlights local spots to get a bite to eat.
“The importance of the event is bringing business to all of our great restaurants here in Harrisburg,” said Todd Vander Woude, executive director of the DID. “It gives customers an opportunity to visit restaurants they haven’t been to in a while.”
