RESTAURANT WEEK IN BOSTON -- FINE DINING IN A BEAUTIFUL CITY

-


Boston’s semi-annual Restaurant Week is upon us, and there’s no better way to enjoy the city’s hospitality at its finest than by sitting down to a meal.

This year Restaurant Week in Boston runs from August 9-14 and 16-21, and over 200 restaurants are participating, according to Patrick Moscaritolo, head of the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau, which organizes the event.

It’s also the perfect time to enjoy the region’s outdoor cafes, patios and harborside dining.”
