Roxbury Restaurant Week 2021 (FREE)

Roxbury Restaurant Week is from Sunday, June 13th to Saturday, June 19th

Misha Thomas, the general manager of Haley House Bakery Cafe, is working with Roxbury Main Streets to organize the first Roxbury Restaurant Week. The idea was in response to the economic shock brought on by COVID19, which destroyed 41% of Black-owned businesses nationwide.
