The best thing about Restaurant Week is that couples get to experience the finest (and often the most romantic) restaurants in cities for less than regular à la carte prices.
When is Restaurant Week?
In many cities, Restaurant Week is scheduled for a time when business is slow, such as during the doldrums of January or the steamy heat of mid-summer. Since Restaurant Week is so affordable, it's popular whenever it's held - so make reservations early.Some couples plan to eat out every night during Restaurant Week, saving hundreds of dollars (although not hundreds of calories).
To eat like a gourmet on a cheapskate's budget, plan now to participate in Restaurant Week in your nearest city - or schedule your next trip during one at the destination.

If the restaurant you want to go to gets booked up for dinner during Restaurant Week, ask if it serves lunch. Many participating restaurants do.
