Dear Chamber Members,

Our Restaurant Week, Unleash the Feast, celebration was such a hit this summer that we couldn’t let the fun or the flavor end there!

In partnership with CNY’s Open House, Grace Monaco, our creative Marketing Coordinator, is helping us keep the celebration going year-round with “Dishes Worth the Drive”, a Steet Ponte Auto Group-sponsored series that showcases one of the reasons Utica is so celebrated: our incredible cuisine. The premiere episode launched this weekend, and we’re excited to share a taste with you!

Behind every favorite dish is a business owner, a hardworking team, and a story worth telling. We know how challenging the restaurant business can be, and this series is one way the Chamber can help our local restaurants shine a little brighter, reach new customers, and earn a spot on your must-try list.

Watch the premiere episode here! Then make plans to revisit a favorite or discover somewhere new. Invite a friend, share your experience, and keep choosing local. Celebrating our food scene starts with showing up hungry!
