OAK ROOM
It used to be that Restaurant Week was one week of dinners or lunches for a great deal (usually the year in dollars and cents 2009 = $20.09.). Now Restaurant week extends for at least another week, and for some restaurants the entire month, and has a much broader depth including shows, and hotel packages.
This year Arts Boston has everything from Stephen Petronio Company at the Institute for Contemporary Arts at half off to Bobby McFerrin at Symphony Hall. There is the American Repertory Theatre's much loved Donkey Show and José Matteo's Ballet Theatre's new show, Out of the Dark.
A few Manhattan restaurants have recently announced that they will be expanding their hours. Boqueria, a Spanish restaurant with locations in SoHo and Flatiron have announced that they will now be open for lunch at their Flatiron location (55 W. 19th Street). They will be serving mostly salads, sandwiches and tapas. Lunch dishes include a Bocata de Pollo, a marinated chicken salad with celery root remoulade and endive on walnut raisin bread.
Mercat, a tapas lounge in NoHo at 45 Bond Street, has announced that they will now be open for lunch from noon until 3p.m. They will serve up mostly tapas as well as Spanish sandwiches.
Also announcing new hours is the Oak Room in the world famous Plaza Hotel. The Oak Room will be open for breakfast as of January 1st. The menu will include eggs and omelets, pancakes, waffles and smoked salmon.
