The Downtown Utica Development Association and Cornell Rust 2 Green Utica are kicking off Utica Restaurant Week.

Event Co-chair Michelle Truett says 54 restaurants are participating in the city-wide event, which will run from June 9th to the 18th.

Truett says Restaurant Week is a chance for residents to explore a new neighborhood or restaurant they've never been to before or to rediscover an old favorite they haven't been to in a while.

Restaurants will be offering breakfast and lunch specials, as well as 3-course dinner specials.

You can find a link to the menus at uticarestaurantweek.com.
