At the Chamber, this is an initiative we work on to drive people from all across the Lehigh Valley into the specific community that is hosting a Restaurant Week. We want to showcase all things Nazareth. It is about time we have one here! There are so many great options\u2014something for everyone and every lifestyle. For the businesses participating, it is a great opportunity to help boost sales and drive foot traffic into the area.
