The start of Harrisburg Restaurant Week is only a few days away and organizers say they don't think city crime should be a deterrent.
Organizers want this event to remind people of the great restaurants Harrisburg has to offer.
Chef Robert Dacko is making one of several specials that restaurant Home 231 will feature all through Harrisburg's restaurant week that begins Monday.
His rainbow trout with potato fingerlings and baby spinach is just one of several dishes he's cooking up.
Home 231 joins a host of other eateries that hope to lure in big crowds during the fifth annual event.
Flory Hook says she just moved to Carlisle and only sees Harrisburg by day, but next week she is making a point to try local restaurants because of the event.
“We come down to go walking around down here, but we haven’t been here to eat, now we can,” added Hook.
Others say the specials will help bring them in.
The recent reports of downtown and midtown crime are definitely on the radar of customers and organizers of this event.
The Downtown Improvement District has security during weekdays and they say on weekends the restaurant association employs extra Harrisburg police.
But customers we spoke with say the crime won't affect how and where they dine.
“I guess you got to worry about it in the back of your mind all the time,” stated Dammond Park.
