Weekly event: Restaurant Week
We're back to one of my favorite times of year. School is almost out, pool season is upon us, and Restaurant Week is here!
All of the participating places have a 3 course meal at a fixed price of $33 or $44 per person (tax, gratuity, and cocktails are usually extra). Some are also $44/couple. It begins on Friday, May 17th and runs through Sunday, May 26th.
