Restaurant Week kicks off, now through March 2

Chicago Northwest is urging suburban gourmets to let the foodie in them enjoy something new.

Now through March 2, 33 Northwest suburban restaurants are participating in Chicago Northwest Restaurant Week, offering fixed-price, three-course lunch and dinner specials ranging from $15 to $35.

In a traditionally a slow time of the year for restaurants, the promotion encourages residents to try a new place. The complete list of restaurants and their specials is at dinechicagonw.com.
