First Fridays Offers Pickering Wharf Restaurant Discounts

Are you looking for a great meal at a good price this Friday night?

If so, you should make sure to head down to Pickering Wharf.

The shops and restaurants on Salem’s Pickering Wharf have come together to offer patrons a special offer. Show a receipt from any wharf merchant on the first Friday of the month, and the restaurants will take 10% off of your lunch or dinner that same day or evening ( the 10% discount applies to food).

That means you’ll be able to get a discount this Friday, Sept. 4.

“Celebrating Pickering Wharf on First Fridays has been a lot of fun as a new business owner,” states Erica Kirwan, who opened Ocean Chic Boutique & Waterbar last summer. “There has been an infusion of new energy into this quaint, seaside village recently. If you haven’t been to Pickering Wharf in some time, I believe you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the new offerings.”
