Roxbury Restaurant Week is from Sunday, June 13th to Saturday, June 19th

Misha Thomas, the general manager of Haley House Bakery Cafe, is working with Roxbury Main Streets to organize the first Roxbury Restaurant Week. The idea was in response to the economic shock brought on by COVID19, which destroyed 41% of Black-owned businesses nationwide. 

The seven-day event will showcase Roxbury restaurants from June 13th to 19th, promoting participating restaurants and encouraging diners to visit each business for dine-in or takeout. 

Restaurants participating in this event include Slade’s Bar & Grill, Soleil, Haley House Bakery Café, Nôs Casa Cafe, Soleil, Jamaica Mi Hungry, Fort Hill Bar & Grill, Merengue Restaurant, Suya Joint, Dudley Cafe, Darryl’s Corner Bar & Kitchen. Additional restaurants will be announced as the event gets closer.

Diners will have the chance to win gift cards by purchasing raffle tickets benefiting the Ujima’s Worker’s Care Relief Fund. The Boston Ujima Project focuses on creating a community-driven economy geared toward local communities of color.

The week will conclude on June 19th with a collaboration between the Roxbury Film Fest and BAM Fest at the Museum of Fine Arts premiere of “Summer of Soul,” in partnership with @roxfilm. “The Roxbury Box,” an assortment of movie snacks for the premiere made by the restaurants, can be pre-ordered before the viewing!
