Dishing it out

Plymouth restaurants are dining destinations

While the 41st Annual Plymouth Ice Festival will bring visitors from throughout the area into the city to
enjoy the spectacular work of the sculptors who create the unique ice carvings, there are other “warmer”
attractions throughout the community set to welcome the crowds during the festival and during the year.
Plymouth has earned a reputation as a “destination” spot for lunch or dinner, or an evening of unique
entertainment. Everything from American classics with a twist to Freaky Fresh sandwiches and a nighttime
trip to the roaring 20s, Plymouth offers the very best of the best.
Here are a few of our favorites.

"It really is fun and people enjoy it,"
said Frank Agostini, who hosts the
event. "We're bringing it back because
so many people asked about it. People
have a great time."
Tickets this year are $55 per person
and cover the cost of the buffet and
some special cocktails. For tickets, or
reservations, for the Feb. 12 event, call
the restaurant at the number above.
