Christmas for Food Lovers

Restaurant Week in Grand Rapids is here! Similar to last year, restaurants all over and around the city have created special menus featuring local products (meats, cheeses, produce, etc) that are available for 10 days. Although probably best for my budget and waistline (both of which I'm supposed to be monitoring closely these days), I can't help but wish that this was a month-long or even summer-long event. *sigh*

 Here's the site: Restaurant Week Information

Unlike previous years, I won't be eating out every day of Restaurant Week, for the reasons listed above. (I hate being an adult sometimes!) However, I have created my short list of where I'd like to go whenever we do venture out in the next few days. For each one we visit, I'll then do a posting of our experience, food choices, and all the yummy details. And I do realize I have some catching up to do. As summer winds down and work also slows a bit, I am hoping to fill you in on all of our new favorite places. (And there are some seriously good ones!!!!)

So, my wishlist list for Restaurant Week, in alphabetical order and with links to their websites:

Aryana Restaurant and Bar
Bistro Chloe Elan
CitySen Lounge
Grove
The Landing (new owners and new style)
Licari's Sicilian Pizza Kitchen

Reserve Wine & Food
six.one.six
Tre Cugini
Watermark Grill
Zeytin Turkish Restaurant (an old favorite but I never get sick of it!)
 

I'll keep you all posted on our outings. Because I can't go out all 10 days, please feel free to leave a comment and let everyone know the details of where you've been during this blissful holiday-like eating extravaganza! Afiyet olsun!
