This Week IRL

Restaurant Week...x3!

Let’s face it—you’re sick of coming up with something to cook for dinner every single night, and local restaurants are in need of a mid-winter boost in sales. A solution to both conundrums? Restaurant Week, city- or county-wide initiatives that invite customers to participating eateries for discounted prix fixe menus. And the last week of February brings with it not one, not two, but three Restaurant Week promotions in the 518.
