From $2 tacos to three-course meal deals, Tosa Restaurant Week specials start Thursday
If you're looking for an excuse to treat yourself but still love a good deal, fear not. Tosa Restaurant Week starts Thursday, March 14.
For 10 days, more than 25 Wauwatosa restaurants, bars and other businesses offer specials on dining, drinks and desserts. Complimentary desserts, buy-one-get-one old fashioneds and specially-priced three course meals are a few of the deals to dig into during the third annual event from March 14 to 23.
Tosa Restaurant Week started three years ago to offer something new for visitors and residents of Wauwatosa ahead of the summer, according to Beth Gleesing, Wauwatosa tourism specialist.
“It gives food lovers a chance to get out and try new restaurants and support their local businesses at what can be a slower time of the year for restaurants and hospitality businesses,” Gleesing said in an email.
