Happy Presidents’ Day Restaurant Week!

020620restweek.gif Yeah, I know that today is actually called Washington’s Birthday, but everybody calls it Presidents’ Day, so that’s we’re all gonna call it today, okay?

But there’s a better event going on today and all week. Now, you might be thinking why I’m waiting until this morning Restaurant Week starts to write about it, but come on: It’s a Restaurant Week tradition to wait until the last minute to make reservations! (At least for me.)

Here’s the way it works: At participating Center City restaurants until Feb. 24, three-course dinners are only $30. Of course, tax, alcohol and tip are extra, and if you don’t tip really well when you and your sweetheart are only paying $60 total at Brasserie Perrier, then don’t go to Restaurant Week.

Speaking of Georges Perrier’s fine Walnut Street restaurant, there aren’t any open tables, according to the official listing. There’s a big list on the website, and you can try to make last-minute reservations through the web (on some restaurants) or make frantic phone calls.

And if you don’t end up eating anywhere this week, there’s always Saturday, Feb. 25, where every restaurant in the city will probably have some space open. Make your reservations early this time.

Standard disclaimer: PW is a restaurant week sponsor; though I did just find that out now while on the official website.
