Diners start your engines. For two fabulous weeks in February, meals — all three of them — will be yours for $7 to $33 at the just-announced Great Plates of Downtown Lowell. So here's the deal: from Feb. 15- 28, after the hoopla of Winterfest has died down and Valentine’s Day drains all pockets, the Chamber gives us w/ another reason to crack out our cards in DTL.
Like restaurant week, Great Plates is a pre fixe extravaganza that includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. For the latter two, the price fluctuates btwn. $7- $33 depending on the establishment. The more substantial the restaurant, like Labo or Ricardo’s, the more courses and dessert. As of yet, no restaurants have been named. But return to Gourmet Gal as the morsels drop. I for one think this is a no-brainer that all w/in the sound of my tapping should embrace w/ open wallets. We, as a fierce foodie force, could spur the local economy w/ our generous spirit and appetites. And in return attract more restaurants to this urban village. If you think your local sushi bar doesn't need you, you are painfully mistaken. Who's with me?
I'm with you! This sounds great, i'll be sure to spread the word.
I really like this idea. I'll be sure to spread the word as well.
