Save Room for Dessert: Boston's Restaurant Week Gets Cooking in August

July 12, 2011 at 8:47 AM | by | Comments (0)

Huge news! Boston has announced the dates of their upcoming Restaurant Week. Okay, so you're like, "oh whatever, another Restaurant Week," right? While it's true that three-course dining on a budget does occur quite frequently around the country these days, Boston's Restaurant Week is special because it features many seafood restaurants...fresh seafood.

The dates to add to your iCal? August 14-19 and August 21-26, 2011. There's over 200 restaurants to choose from, and meals have more options and lower prices than you find at NYC Restaurant Week. It's a pretty worthy daytrip diversion if you don't live in Boston; we've done it before and you know we're already looking at BoltBus prices for this one.

Now for the pricing and featured restaurants:

There are three dining options: a 2-course lunch for $15.11, a 3-course lunch for $20.11, and/or a 3-course dinner for $33.11. These prices haven't changed in several years, and we can easily drop $15 on a crap lunch as Cosi, so Restaurant Week is kind of a no-brainer.

For restaurant options, some details from the official release:

Approximately 200 restaurants in Boston, Cambridge, and nearby suburbs participate in Boston’s Restaurant Week. Participating restaurants vary a bit each year, but to whet your appetite, take a look at this list of typical participants:
