New Haven's Restaurant Week is Back!

     Yep, you read right, one of my favorite events in New Haven is back in full swing for November. I have an interesting factoid that you might want to pull out and impress your dining companions with...New Haven and Hartford both used to be the capital cities of Connecticut, but then as we all know, Hartford won out in the end. Hmmm.
     Anyway, Restaurant Week kicks off November 7th and ends on November 12th. There are going to be 24 restaurants participating this go around, and they are going to offer three course prix fixe meals for lunch and dinner.  The menus are not listed yet, but you can check their facebook page or this website for updates: http://www.specialsinnewhaven.com/new-haven-restaurant-week-fall-2010/. The pricing is going to be $16.38 for lunch, and $29.00 for dinner. Considering the standard prices at some of the participating restaurants, this is a really spectacular deal.
     Some of the restaurants that stand out on the list that I would recommend going to check out are:

BASTA: http://bastatrattoria.com/ (the menu is already up)
ZINC: http://www.zincfood.com/
HEIRLOOM: http://www.studyhotels.com/

Anywhere that you pick on the list of 24 restaurants should be a great experience though. I know that these three are definately on my list. And of course, I'd love to hear all about your experiences at any of the restaurants as well.
