Restaurant week sure has changed over the years. First it was once a year. Then it was twice a year. Now it's been extended to two weeks. Coming up this Sunday is the start of Restaurant Week(s).

From Sunday, March 15 through Friday, March 20 and Sunday, March 22 - Friday, March 27, 2009 diners will enjoy 3-course lunches for $20.09 and/or dinners for $33.09 at restaurants throughout Boston, Cambridge, the suburbs and beyond.

New to the Restaurant Week Menu this year is a 2-course lunch option for $15.09. Diners can enjoy an entree and then elect either an appetizer or dessert as the second course. Many restaurants are also including Saturday this year.

Everything I keep reading is that restaurants in general are faring rather poorly through this recession and so I can see why they'd want to extend restaurant week along with all those recession specials that are already going on.
