Bon Appetit!

Food. As Julia Child says, "I love to eat." I may not be the next Top Chef, but by all means, I can certainly appreciate a good meal.

If you've lived here for any length of time, you're probably well aware of Restaurant Week, which graces us with its presence twice a year. If you're not, let me enlighten you and your palate for a minute.

In 1992, NY Restaurant Week was created as a one-time culinary event to welcome the Democratic National Convention to the city. Residents of NY enjoyed this week so much that it has now become a reoccurring event. What makes this event so unique is that you can dine at the top restaurants for a fraction of the cost. It has expanded to include both lunch and dinner with three-course, prix-fixe meals at $25.00 - $35.00.

This winter more than 260 restaurants will be participating in NY Restaurant Week, which will last from January 25th through February 7th (yes - actually longer than a week!).

Check out a list of the selected eateries:
