Boston Restaurant Week 2016: Meet the North End Dining Spots on the Menu

BOSTON, MA — Dine Out Boston 2016, aka Boston Restaurant Week, is fast approaching, and the North End has a long list of tantalizing participants in this year's celebration of food and drink.

The 2016 Dine Out Boston events run Aug. 14-19 and Aug. 21-26. During those days, you can score meals at some of the city's best restaurants priced at $15, $20, or $25 for lunch, and dinners for $28, $33, or $38. Availability of lunch, dinner, or both depends on the restaurant, as does the pricing and number of courses.

These are the kinds of prices worth putting in a reservation and crowding out the hordes of Hanover Street tourists. They can eat here any time (and they do). Boston Restaurant Week is, well, Boston's time.

For reservations and additional details on all four restaurants listed below, visit Restaurant Week Boston. They also have the full list of places participating in this year's festivities, if you care to venture outside the North End.
