Lawrence restaurants are planning exclusive menus and deals for a 10-day culinary event that kicks off Thursday.
This year’s is the ninth annual Lawrence Restaurant Week. It will include a wide variety of special menu features at locally owned businesses across town, according to a news release. Some establishments may feature fan favorites; others may have special items and tastings.
“Diners will find something for every palate, price point, and service style,” according to the release. “Diners with special dietary needs will find plenty to enjoy, with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free offerings.”
A percentage of the menu proceeds will benefit hospitality workers through the Hospitality Workers Relief Fund, according to the release.
