Downtown Topeka Restaurant Week will be held April 15-24

Downtown Topeka Inc. is excited to announce it has finalized dates and is gearing up for a lively 2022 Downtown Topeka Restaurant Week. This year’s downtown restaurant week is scheduled for April 15-24, with participating businesses offering special menu items, drink discounts and more.

Participating businesses include more than a dozen downtown eateries and shops, and DTI is continuing to recruit participants. More information about participating businesses and their restaurant-week specials may be found online at DowntownTopekaInc.com/DTRW.

“We’re proud to be part of Downtown Topeka Restaurant Week because it’s a great way to support local businesses and spur enthusiasm for our capital city’s downtown corridor,” said Seth Wagoner, CEO of AIM Strategies, downtown restaurant week’s presenting sponsor. “Iron Rail and The Pennant will both be participating, and we’ve got some exciting new drinks, dishes and events coming your way.”

“DTI is thrilled to be organizing this year’s Downtown Topeka Restaurant Week, with help from some great community partners,” said Rhiannon Friedman, president of Downtown Topeka Inc. “We hope to make downtown’s 2022 restaurant week the best yet and can’t wait to welcome visitors to the area for 10 days of food, fun and specially curated treats.”

Downtown Topeka Restaurant Week is part of a month-long celebration in April of Topeka’s many delightful dining options. The Greater Topeka Partnership during April plans to use its social media platforms to highlight restaurants downtown, in East Topeka, in the NOTO Arts & Entertainment District and north Topeka, and throughout the city’s west side. This social campaign — designed to coincide with such events as the NOTO Redbud Festival and NOTO in Bloom — will uplift grassroots efforts in each area of the city to spotlight worthwhile food and entertainment in Kansas’ capital city.

“I am excited to see Downtown Topeka Restaurant Week return! Coupled with the Redbud Festival in NOTO and new restaurants like Jefferson's opening in the Sherwood area in April, Topeka is going to offer diners a treat this spring,” said Matt Pivarnik, CEO of the Greater Topeka Partnership. “The partnership is looking forward to shining a light on the diversity of our dining scene next month, because when Topeka’s small businesses thrive, our community thrives! If you come to Topeka hungry, you’re bound to leave happy.”
