Ending January with Dorian Gray and Hair Bands. Starting February with Classes, Coffee, and Mocktails

January 31st – February 9th Approximately two dozen Golden restaurants are participating in Golden Restaurant Week. They’re each offering special menus at special prices, beginning at less than $10. The timing of this event is chosen to encourage you to have one last, lingering gander at the downtown holiday lights. They will stay up through Valentine’s Day and come down on February 15th. See the list of specials offered by each of the restaurants.
