The Menu Restaurant Guide

Launched in Roanoke in late 2009, The Menu is a unique restaurant-selection publication created by Leisure to provide residents and visitors with a quick, easy-to-reference dining guide featuring sample menus for a wide variety of leading area restaurants. Soon after the launch of the inaugural edition in Roanoke, Va. the guide quickly began to receive high praise from readers, distribution partners and participating restaurants. Building on this success, in mid 2010 we proudly introduced a second edition of The Menu in the Lynchburg region, and efforts are currently under way to bring this exciting new product to even more new markets.
