This fourth round of restaurant week, dubbed “Queen’s Feast: Winter 2010,” will feature 79 restaurants. Each restaurant will offer a prix fixe, three-course (minimum) dinner for $30 per person (not including tax and gratuity).
This winter’s Queen’s Feast will see over 20 first-time restaurant participants, such as Bonterra; Global; Aquavina; Good Food on Montford; Miro Spanish Grille; Deejai Thai; and recently opened spots including The Liberty Gastropub; Enso Asian Bistro; Vivace; and BLT Steak.
Last year I hit up 6 restaurants and gained 4 pounds in one week. Wonder if I can top that this year. With so many restaurants to choose from, I’m sure it won’t be tough. My top picks would be: Bonterra, BLT Steak, Vivace, The Liberty and Copper.
