For college students on a budget, there’s no better week to eat out in the city of Columbus.
614’s Restaurant Week kicked off Monday and will run until Saturday. There are over 100 participating restaurants offering three-course meals between $15-50. The event is also partnering with Children’s Hunger Alliance to host a giveaway in which for each entry 25 cents are donated, up to a total of $5,000. Giveaway winners will win prizes listed here. The Lantern has listed the deals of some of the most popular participating restaurants.
