The inaugural Flavors of 5th dining campaign delivered an economic boost of about $450,000 to the downtown Naples area during a traditionally slow season for local business, officials from the Fifth Avenue South Business Improvement District said. Throughout August, the BID partnered with local nonprofit Beverly’s Angels to introduce the Flavors of 5th Prix Fixe Restaurant Month. Eleven of Fifth Avenue’s restaurants—including Chops City Grill, Del Mar Naples, Keewaydin’s on Fifth, Ocean Prime, Pazzo Cucina Italiana, Roma Italian Bistro, Sails, The French Brasserie Rustique, Truluck’s, Tulia Osteria and Vergina—offered multicourse, prix fixe menus starting at $23.99. In addition to driving business, participating restaurants raised $10,924 for Beverly’s Angels, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting children of essential workers.
