Cleveland Independents Restaurant Week To-Go – Through March 31
Cleveland Restaurant Week was initially designed to encourage the dine-in experience, but the pandemic forced everyone to change their way of doing things. Local foodies should take full advantage of the to-go option offered during the current edition of the Cleveland Independents Restaurant Week, which runs through Wednesday, March 31, because it may be your last opportunity. Most of the 32 participating restaurants, located throughout Greater Cleveland, are offering three-course prix fixe meals.
