Chicago Northwest Restaurant Weeks starts Feb. 22

Meet Chicago Northwest, the Northwest suburbs's official destination marketing organization, will showcase the many dining choices in the area during the sixth annual Chicago Northwest Restaurant Week from Feb. 22 through March 3.

This year's theme, "Let's not Cook," suggests getting out to area restaurants during a typically slow time of year and foregoing the usual stay-at-home meal.

Created in partnership with local restaurants, 45 area dining establishments will be participating. All are offering exclusive, affordably-priced, 3-course prix fixe lunch and dinner menus.

A full list of participating restaurants and prix fixe menus can be seen at dinechicagonw.com. Cork & Tap Tastings can be viewed at corktapchicagonw.com.
