1st Annual Avondale Restuarant Week a Big Hit

Avondale Restaurant Week was a big hit in West Ashley last week as the articipating restaurants in the Avondale Point Business District saw a big influx of business during a normally slow winter week, according to organizer Michael Lotz.

Lotz is also the General Manager at and is active in working with nieghboring businesses in the district to promote events like the new Restaurant Week and the annual Avondale 5K Run/Walk.

"It was terrific," Lotz said of the turnout during the week. "I haven't compared (the same week last year with this year) but we put close to $7,000 more on the bottom line than a typical week."

Lotz also said the valet service that provides parking in and around Avondale during evening hours told him the past week was the busiest they've ever had.

Partially a nod to the more well known Charleston Restaurant Week and partly a way to make the Avondale community stand out even more on its own within the city, Triangle, , , and , all created specail 3 for $20 menu options to feature during the week.

"We are very excited about a new annual event," Lotz said.
