SYRACUSE, N.Y. (NCC NEWS)- Downtown Syracuse is hosting the 17th annual Dining Week with more than 50 restaurants participating this year.

Visitors will have the chance to enjoy lunch or a three-course dinner at a discounted price of $35 or less.

General Manager Danial Diaz of Margaritas Mexican Cantina says he is looking forward to the long line of customers looking to get their grub on.

“After COVID, it’s going to get a lot more people out,” said Diaz. “It’s going to bring a lot of business to us and it’s also going to bring business any other restaurant in downtown.”

Diaz also suggested that if you do plan to join Dining Week to get out early because not all places will accept reservations.

“Right now for sure that we are not taking any reservations,” said Diaz. “So everybody has to try and get here a little bit, maybe 30 [minutes], maybe a hour or so before the actual time they want to be here.”

Dining Week will last from June 1 until June 13 and you can learn more about the different restaurants participating by visiting downtownsyracuse.com.
