Restaurant Week

For you lucky Bostonians, Restaurant Week is back, August 22-26, with some restaurants extending the dates an extra week. The idea is to encourage those of us who normally dine at TGIFriday's and the like to try out some of the finer establishments in and around the city by offering fixed-price menus at $20.05 for lunch and $30.05 for dinner. The price includes an appetizer, main course, and dessert, but not tax, tip, or beverages. The choices are limited, so if you are picky or have any food allergies, definitely check out the Restaurant Week menu before signing up. I may go for Rouge, Tremont 647, or Taranta.
