Head down to the island for Galveston Restaurant Week
GALVESTON, Texas (KTRK) -- If you're heading down to Galveston Island anytime over the next two weeks, be sure to bring your appetite.
Galveston Restaurant Week kicks off Jan. 6 and runs through Jan. 21. Now in its seventh year, the event allows diners to enjoy meals from more than 30 different restaurants.
Lunch, brunch and breakfast range between $10-$20 in price, while dinner is $20-$35. Similar to Houston Restaurant Weeks, Galveston's event donates a portion of each meal to charity. This year, Galveston Restaurant Week benefits the non-profit Access Care of Coastal Texas with money going toward providing meals for those with HIV/AIDS.
You don't need any tickets or passes for Galveston Restaurant Week, but reservations are strongly recommended.
