Dem's Eats

Feeling a bit under the weather (well, the last 3-4 days, actually) and I'm still a bit too dizzy see the keyboard that well, so this one will be short. Just a public service announcement for the locals - tomorrow starting at 5:00 PM, the Times Square Business Improvement District is sponsoring Taste of Times Square, an outdoor festival where attendees can "sample the fares of 51 [area] restaurants." The festival will be held on West 46th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues. With any luck it'll still be going on whenever my boss finally lets me out of the office... Then, on the workweeks of June 23-27 and June 30-July 4, NYC & Company is sponsoring "Restaurant Week 2003". Click on the website for a list of which participating "restaurants are offering three-course lunches for $20.03 and three-course dinners for $30.03. (Beverages, gratuities, and tax additional.)" It being NYC, those prices are doubtless per-person, but considering some pretty pricey places are offering them it seems like a nice opportunity. You can even make reservations online.
