Save the Date: Winter Restaurant Week to Return

Is it too early to book a babysitter? Baltimore's favorite way to dine like kings and queens for a fraction of the normal cost is returning in just a few months.

Baltimore Winter Restaurant Week will be back Friday, Jan. 20 through Sunday, Jan. 29, 2012. As usual, restaurants will offer prix-fixe three-course dinner and lunch menus. Although the price has not yet been publicized, we're guessing it will be $20.12 for lunches and $35.12 for dinners, in keeping with the event's tradition to make the cents portion of the price the same as the current year.

Book those babysitters!
