Restaurant Week GR is still on this year, but with some changes due to COVID-19.
The event is happening on August 5-16.
Experience Grand Rapids says they debated about whether or not to keep it going, but decided it's an easy way to help restaurants stay afloat while operating safely.
As always patrons can expect good food, but instead of the special menus and meal pairings, there will be a digital passport where people can check-in at different places they want to try and earn prizes.
There will also be special incentives to return, that will be unique to each restaurant.
