“This year’s diverse lineup includes a variety of fresh new restaurants as well as returning favorites,” remarks Beth Weirick, CEO of Downtown Milwaukee’s BID #21. “Offering both lunch and dinner options, Downtown residents and guests can get a taste of Milwaukee’s flavor at any time of day.” BID (Business Improvement District) #21 started Downtown Dining Week in 2006 in an effort to familiarize Milwaukee-area residents and out-of-town visitors alike about the fine ingesting and imbibing businesses the city’s Downtown area has to offer.
Diners at participating restaurants (see accompanying list) will also have the option to donate to Key to Change—an initiative created by BID #21 in an effort to cure chronic homelessness in our community. Indeed, since its launch just eight months ago, it has raised more than $16,000—to which Dining Week restaurants have already added $4,000 in their own donations. Specially priced menu options for this eight-day feast include lunches for $12.50 and dinners for $25-$35. Four lucky diners will be awarded $450 in dining certificates. Downtown Dining Week runs May 31-June 7.
