Originally scheduled Jan. 24 to 30, the Historic Bethlehem Restaurant Week has been extended through Feb. 5 due to the recent snowstorm. Created to bolster post-holiday business and interest in the Northside central business district, participating restaurant owners not only seek to improve their on bottom line, but they hope it benefits the entire downtown business community. “You take one of the slowest weeks of the year and make it one of the busiest of the year,” Apollo Grille co-owner Dyanne Holt said. Nearly 15 Historic Bethlehem area restaurants have participated and are offering prix fixe lunch menus at $5, $10 and $15 and dinner menus at $10, $20, $25, $35 and $40 price points. In addition, anyone ordering from the restaurant week menus has a chance to be one of two raffle winners who will receive dinner for two at each of the participating restaurants.
