Restaurant Week extended

When Baltimore City had its first Restaurant Week four years ago, 60 restaurants took part. This summer the number has increased to 120; and Downtown Partnership, the organization that sponsors it, has just announced the promotion is being extended through Aug. 23. Some 90 restaurants will take part for a second week.

I took a quick look at the Restaurant Week Web site, and I don't immediately see a list of what those restaurants are. But I guess you would call to make reservations anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

It is the places with an "e" next to their name.

Thanks. I guess I should have looked a little harder. :-) EL

I use Open Table to make reservations. Then I don't have to talk with anyone.

I haven't had lunch yet and am drooling at the cheeseboard above. Where was the picture taken?

Taverna Corvino. EL

Less surprising than Weekend at Bernie's 2.

So, finally I made it to Mt Washington yesterday, where I was interested equally in the Tavern (although usually I find them kinda meh) and Crepes Du Jour. There was no parking on Sulgrave and there was behind the Tavern, so it was decided. At last I was to have an RW lunch!

Except, Mt Washington Tavern doesn't have RW lunch on Sunday. So, I had gumbo instead and my partner had a kobe beef burger that she loved.

When we walked out into the sunlight on Sulgrave the sandwich sign in front of Crepes Du Jour had in big letters "Restuarant Week Extended!" as if to mock me.
