Bristol Borough will be holding its first restaurant week this year.
Coming together at a Bristol Borough: Raising the Bar sponsored Leadership Breakfast, restaurant owners throughout the borough began organizing the first restaurant week.

Spanning from March 3 through March 10, the restaurant week will include participation from many of the restaurants in the borough, including the Mill Street Cantina, the King George Inn, Cafe Bombay and others.
Information on the week long celebration of Bristol dining will be posted at the Dining and Entertainment in Historic Bristol Borough Facebook page. The page will allow individual restaurants to post their agendas and plans for the event as the date draws closer.
The restaurant week will not be similar to other weeks of the same idea, Bristol Borough: Raising the Bar President Bill Pezza assures. In other communities, a restaurant week means similar offerings at similar prices throughout the community. In Bristol, eateries will be on their own to decide what the week means to them.

“We think our restaurants are diverse in their offerings,” Pezza noted, explaining why diversity will likely be a theme for the borough’s restaurant week.
“This isn’t just a one shot deal, we want this to be like a vehicle for the future,” said Pezza.

As it stands, restaurant week is just the beginning of further outreach into the community that Raising the Bar is targeting. According to Pezza, Raising the Bar is also reaching out to different churches in the borough, so communities can contribute to events like the regular town cleanups that Raising the Bar advocates.
Bucks County communities like New Hope and Yardley have also held restaurant weeks in recent years.
