Denver Restaurant Week

I just wanted to write a quick entry about Denver Restaurant Week. Maybe other cities have this, maybe even LA, but I'm so impresssed by the whole idea of it. For 10 + days at the end of February and early March many, many restaurants in Denver participate in a $52.80 deal. For $52.80 two people can eat from a prix fixe menu at some really upscale restaurants. That's such a bargain! So, we're trying it out this year. We're going to take Whit's parents to a nearby restaurant called Opus. We waited a little long to make reservations, so we're actually eating at 4:45 PM. It'll be an early dinner, but at least we have reservations! We really wanted to go to Shanahan's, but it was completely booked. We rarely go to upscale restaurants, it's great that we can take advantage of this and eat in some restaurants that we would never go to otherwise.
