Chamber's 'Restaurant Week' Coming Soon

The “Great Taste of Summer Restaurant Week” is coming to East Providence in about two weeks.

The East Providence Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting the event. It will start on Aug. 16, which is also the celebration of the chamber’s 116th birthday, said Executive Director Laura McNamara.

“We can finally tell you about a GREAT new event that the Chamber is hosting next month,” said McNamara in the Chamber's July newsletter. “We've been working on it for months! The Great Taste of Summer Restaurant Week is a celebration of GREAT food and the GREAT food venues in our area.”

A Great Taste of Summer Kick-off Party will kick off the week at the newly renovated Old Oyster House Marina at 28 Water St. on the East Providence waterfront.

“Following the party, area restaurants and food venues will be offering specials throughout Restaurant Week,” McNamara said.

“The Old Oyster House Marina has a new owner and no expense has been spared in completely renovating the property with landscaping, a new kitchen, air conditioning, heating, windows, interior design and more,” McNamara said. “The outdoor patio has been extended and is a perfect place to enjoy yourself with friends on a summer night.”

"Mark your calendar for this exciting event," she said. "We hope you can join us."
