Eating Out: Cheap(er) is Better

A bit of a misnomer this year, Boston's Summer Restaurant Week spreads itself leisurely over a 14-day span, affording the populace twice as much time to spend money they don't have on food they can't afford. And we at Bostonist couldn't be happier about it! This biannual event (winter and summer only) provides a beacon of light for culinary adventuring, allowing even us poor writers a chance to taste the good life. The difficulty lies in choosing where to eat, because even though cheaper is better, at $30.06 the 3-course prixe fixe still packs a punch to the wallet. Participating restaurants open their reservation books today, so break open your piggy bank and give them a call!
