Boston Restaurant Week

You know that restaurant that you've passed by a million times but never dared to go in because it looked too fancy and probably overpriced? Well.......it's BOSTON RESTAURANT WEEK (March 15 through March 20, 2009 and March 22 through March 27, 2009)! I always look forward to Restaurant Week - and almost every restaurant in the city participates in it.

What does that mean? The restaurants have three-course prix-fixe dinner menus for only......$33! And for lunch only $20! It's a great deal if you are going to a place that usually has appetizers that are higher-priced than that.

Some of my favorites are: L'Espalier, Excelsior, Radius, 33, Persephone, Aura, Great Bay, and much much more...

Go out and experiment!

Boston Gems

This month, Boston Magazine has published an article on the 50 Best Restaurants in the city. Amongst the list are some of my favorite places to go! What's the point of looking sharp and buying fancy clothes if you've got no place to wear them to?

At the top of the list is the leather district's O-Ya. The small cozy restaurant definitely has the best food I've ever tasted (and the most expensive as well...$400 for two people), but it's worth experiencing at least once!
