Boston Restaurant Week: Winter Edition

It is that time again, time to check out the special value meals at over 200 participating restaurants. Winter Restaurant Week Boston® will be held March 15-20 and 21-27, 2009. You can view all the participating restaurants, peruse their menus and make reservations through Open Table at www.BostonUSA.com/RestaurantWeek.

Participants can choose from over 209 of the region’s best restaurants and enjoy three-course prix fixe lunches for $20.09 and three-course dinners for $33.09 – excluding beverage, tax and gratuity. A new menu option this year is the two-course gourmet lunch priced at a very affordable $15.09; diners can select an entrée and then enjoy either an appetizer or dessert as the second course. Some restaurants will even participate on Saturday, March 21.

Along with prix fixe menus at the region’s best tables, participants are encouraged to take advantage of special hotel packages during the two week promotion. Special offers can be easily accessed on Boston’s official visitor website www.BostonUSA.com/RestaurantWeek.

In addition, when diners use any American Express® Card at participating restaurants, American Express and the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau will donate $.25 per transaction, up to $5000, to Community Servings, an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to provide free home-delivered meals throughout eastern Massachusetts to people homebound with HIV/AIDS and other acute life-threatening illnesses.

New restaurants to Restaurant Week include places including: Amelia's Trattoria, Asana, Bina Osteria, BOND, East Coast Grill, Estragon, Limoncello, Marliave, Sportello, Stella, and Tomasso Trattoria & Enoteca.
