Erie Restaurant Week ran from January 17-26 with local restaurants offering unique specials. There was an increase in participating restaurants from 49 to 63 this year.
There were also more specials sold and a 79% increase in total sales from those specials.
Erie Restaurant Week not only shines a spotlight on the region's culinary diversity, it also supports restaurants during a time of year that business is traditionally slow.

'You know that snowstorm over Thanksgiving weekend really took a toll on the restaurants so the timing of restaurant week couldn't have been better. It really boosted their business. We heard back from a lot of different resturant owners that they were just thrilled with the results,' said Chris Temple, director of communications for VisitErie.
Temple said restaurant owners reported not only seeing a lot of repeat customers but also a lot of new customers which is the goal of restaurant week.
