From June
1st through 8th, local foodies and visitors can indulge in the best of Old
Pasadena's award-winning restaurants, and help feed those in need at the first
ever Old Pasadena Restaurant Week. In
response to our ongoing economic crisis, over 25 of Old Pasadena's finest
restaurants have joined together to help our less fortunate neighbors.
For eight straight days, diners will savor three gourmet courses at one
great price, starting as low as $15, with a portion of the proceeds
benefiting Union Station Homeless Services.
A
diverse array of the area's most exciting restaurants will offer three course
pre-selected meals at a special deal with deluxe dining at $15 for lunch and
$25 for dinner or fine dining at $25 for lunch and $35 for dinner.
10% of event proceeds will benefit Union Station Homeless Services, celebrating 35 years of helping those in need.
