Howard County Tourism & Promotion is excited to have this opportunity to bring together two local and vital industries: our independent restaurants and local agriculture. Today, when consumers realize it’s more important than ever to be aware of where our food comes from, we wanted to create opportunities for food to take the shortest route from farm – or the Bay – to the table.
The Buy Local Challenge, also being supported by the Maryland Department of Agriculture and the Maryland Office of Tourism, is a significant way that citizens can eat healthier food, make an important contribution to the local economy, and a positive impact on the environment. We all benefit from eating locally produced or harvested foods, and our restaurants have stepped up to the challenge by seeking out local food sources and creating unique and tantalizing menus for Restaurant Weeks. They have invested the time and effort to get to know local farmers and form relationships, and seek out ways to create best practices that will benefit the restaurants, the producers, and ultimately the dining public.
Together, we are working to create new initiatives to help Howard County enhance its reputation as a truly Green Community!
”Restaurants in Howard County are very generous with their time, treasures and talents. Each year, we donate tens of thousands of dollars worth of food, gift certificates and personal time to charities. These net out to many more tens of thousands of dollars to local charitable organizations. Our collective support helps to maintain local charities.” said Joe Barbera of AIDA Bistro & Wine Bar.
The first-ever national culinary tourism report from the U.S. Travel Association states that culinary tourism is a growing travel trend, with 27 million travelers, or 17 percent of American leisure travelers, engaged in culinary or wine-related activities while traveling within the past three years. The new U.S. Travel Association report surveyed more than 2,300 U.S. leisure travelers.
In 1992 the nation's eyes were focused on New York City as it prepared to host the Democratic National Convention. It was the perfect time to demonstrate that NYC was indeed the restaurant capital of the world, and so a promotional campaign was devised. One hundred participating restaurants offered a prix-fixe, three-course lunch for $19.92. The promotion was successful beyond anyone's expectations, and "Restaurant Week" became a Big Apple yearly event. As its popularity grew, it was extended to two weeks and is now done twice a year. The idea of Restaurant Week soon caught on across the country. Boston, Atlanta, San Diego, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore --all have their own Restaurant Weeks, now proudly we can add Howard County, MD to that list!
Howard County Tourism & Promotion, Inc. is a non-profit, partnership-based organization funded in part by generous operating and marketing grants from the State and County. Howard County Tourism & Promotion is recognized by both Howard County Government and the Maryland Office of Tourism Development as the official Destination Management Organization for Howard County, Maryland. Tourism’s mission is to increase, develop and promote tourism in Howard County by featuring the county’s unique sites, services, products and people by creating marketing opportunities like summer and winter Restaurant Weeks. For more information contact Howard County Tourism & Promotion or check out our website www.VisitHowardCounty.com.

I am a 13 years old and I've been writing songs since I was 6. I've always played some type of instrument. In all my songs I try to add a unique twist to it.
