"We're looking to bring people from Haverhill and from across the region into Haverhill to experience our restaurants, including our new restaurants," Eberhardt said. "No matter which restaurant they choose, they're going to get an amazing $20.22 special. We also wanted to so something fun and different, which is why we created special events every night."
