Winter can be unpredictable for the hospitality industry—between post-holiday indulgence, tight wallets and rough weather it’s a challenging time. But Restaurant Week is a delicious way for diners to get out and enjoy incredible meals without breaking the bank.
Stay tuned here for an ever-evolving list of delicious ways to expand your palate. Before you dive in, here are some essential Do’s and Don’ts for making the most of any Restaurant Week experience:
Restaurant Week Do’s and Don’ts:
DO your homework: Check menus and prices online. Some places offer their entire menu, while others have curated Restaurant Week specials.
DO leave a generous gratuity—staff are working just as hard, if not harder.

DON’T be unkind. Staffing shortages are still very real.
