    “Participating in restaurant week is an excellent opportunity for us to get new customers to try our food,” said Chelsea Zawisa, Owner of new Lancaster bagel shop Harvest Moon Bagel—and first-time participant in Lancaster City Restaurant Week. “Since we are still a very new business not everyone may know about us yet or have had the chance to stop in, restaurant week is a great way to feature some of our signature menu items and let everyone know what we are all about.”
