Restaurant Week is Upon Us! March 13th - March 19th

It's time to go out to eat! We are joining forces once again with the Heart of Biddeford & Saco Main Street to promote Restaurant Week in Biddeford & Saco all next week. It's been a tough couple of years for our local restaurants, so we're hoping to get everyone locally to eat-in or take-out that week to show their appreciation while enjoying the diverse dining scene we have in the area. Participating restaurants are offering enticing specials, and diners can enter a contest to win gift cards to local restaurants. We're also raising money for a great cause: Youth Full Maine, a non-profit that helps feed students and their families. There's also a "Libations Night" next Wednesday, hope to see you all out and about! To see the list of participating restaurants & specials, please CLICK HERE
