Last week I was invited by to attend the Erie Restaurant Week Preview Party, and I’m so grateful I got to experience it.
VisitErie and their team did an incredible job bringing together so many kitchens to showcase just how much amazing food Erie has to offer. It was such a fun, well-done event, hosted at one of my favorite places in the city, - their space truly elevated the entire experience. I felt really lucky to be there, especially getting to share the night with my friends and fellow Erie lovers. 🤍
One of my favorite parts of the night was how many people were walking around with cameras in their hands, capturing photos and video. Since that’s my life 24/7, it felt really cool to be in a room where that was the norm - less like being a lone wolf, and more like being with my pack. That sense of community is something I really appreciate, and it reminded me how thankful I am to be part of the Erie community and to do what I do here.
Huge thank you to VisitErie for the invitation and for continuing to create opportunities that support local businesses and creatives!
Erie Restaurant Week officially kicks off tomorrow and runs through January 31, featuring 70+ participating restaurants, special menus, and exclusive dishes you won’t find any other time of year. It’s the perfect excuse to try something new, support local restaurants, and celebrate everything our food scene has to offer. 🍽️
Erie always shows up for Erie, and this is one of those moments.
