  • Eater Boston on “Where to Go to Avoid Restaurant Week”

    In the past, we've tried to direct you to the places where you can dine out without running into Restaurant Week crowds and menus. This year, Rachel Leah Blumenthal over on Eater Boston has posted, Where to Go to Avoid Restaurant Week.

    Our yearly request for those of you who do love and take part in Restaurant Week – please add a bonus to the tip! The wait staff did not make the decision to take part in this event and they did not set the prices. They do, however, do as much work for you as they would if you were paying full price. Tips should not be on sale during Restaurant Week.
