A couple of New England cities kick off their respective food fests today. Restaurant Week beckons visitors to savor the flavors of Newport, Rhode Island and New Haven, Connecticut.
Newport Restaurant Week
(November 9-15, 2008)
With roughly 35 Newport-area restaurants participating, this is by far the larger affair. Three-course meals are fixed-priced at $16 for lunch and $30 for dinner (excluding taxes, beverages, and gratuities). In addition, numerous events—including wine tastings, cooking demonstrations, and even a martini contest!—are scheduled throughout the week.
