Dine Out on the Town: Baltimore Restaurant Week

When you think of Baltimore dining, there is so much more than crab to feast upon! If you're often intimidated by the thought of trying new restaurants because of the price, Baltimore Restaurant Week is the perfect time to get outside of your dining comfort zone! The city's summer restaurant week began on July 24, but you have until August 2 to take advantage of the promotional deals!

Sponsored by Dine Downtown Baltimore, Restaurant Week's participating restaurants will offer lunch and/or dinners at a special rate. These offers include a three-course dinner for either $20 or $30 per person, and two-course brunch or lunch meals for $15! More than 50 area restaurants are participating this round, so now is a wonderful opportunity to plan a special date night at that restaurant you and your significant other have been dying to try!

Are you curious as to which restaurants near your apartment home at McHenry Row are participating? The closest participating restaurant is Locust Point's Wine Market Bistro, which is offering a variety of both lunch and dinner deals. You can visit Wine Market Bistro at 921 E. Fort Ave. 

In Federal Hill, participating restaurants include: Blue Agave Restaurante y Tequileria, Bluegrass Tavern, Encantada, Liv2Eat, Matsuri Japanese Restaurant, Michael's Steak and Lobster House, Mother's Federal Hill Grille, Regi's American Bistro, Sip Kitchen & Wine Bar, SoBo Cafe, and The Rowhouse Grille.

To view a complete list of participating eateries, or to search by neighborhood, visit the official Baltimore Restaurant Week website.

If this is your first time sampling new restaurants during Baltimore Restaurant Week, here are a few tips:

• Make a reservation: The early bird will get the worm, or in this case the table. Restaurant Week brings more patrons to these restaurants than they typically would see during the week.
• Check out what's near your workplace: Ask a couple of co-workers to join you for a lunch break! Lunch is also an alternative if you're unable to get a dinner reservation.
• Do your homework: If you've never tried a restaurant, look them up online to see which dishes are recommended!

We'll see you at dinner! Bon Appetit!
