Heritage Restaurant Week

Heritage Restaurant Week:  Honoring 250 Years of American Independence 

Erie County, May 8th-May 17th, 2026

No matter who we are or where we came from, we must all eat. Heritage Restaurant Celebration—a partnership between Erie County 250th Commemorative Commission and the General Pulaski Association—honors the culinary traditions of various cultural heritages. 
Between May 8th and May 17th, our partner restaurants in the German, Polish, Italian, Indian, Burmese, Thai, Lebanese, African, Greek, French, Polynesian, and American culinary traditions will be offering their cuisines and specials for residents to enjoy (see below). 
Celebrate Mother’s Day, or a graduation dinner, while enjoying the historical tradition of our heritage partners!
