For Boston Foodies, A Deal Whenever it Snows

It's a depressing time for foodies. No one has the money to keep eating those Kobe steaks and white truffles we’re all so used to, and even though plenty of restaurants are rolling out recession specials, the perpetually horrible weather throughout much of the country is making leaving the house a bone-shivering ordeal, so it had better be a damn good deal.

So our favorite special we've seen yet is one that combines our wallet and weather woes—the Snow Emergency Deal at Boston's favorite high-end pasta house, Prezza. One of about a hundred Italian places packed into Boston's North End neighborhood, Prezza is a critic's darling—and a $40-an-entrée consumer's nightmare. But now, any time it snows in Boston (which, is, um, way too often) diners at Prezza are treated to a free order of housemade potato gnocchi Bolognase.

Seriously, free. OK, there is one catch--you gotta buy a glass of wine--but still, that's a pretty hefty savings!
