PROVIDENCE RESTAURANT WEEKS JULY 7 - 20

Close to 100 restaurants are participating in Restaurant Weeks this year, offering deals to entice summer city dwellers with three-course prix-fixe lunches for $14.95 and dinners for $29.95. Providence loses lots of residents in summer but even some vacation spots like Bristol offer deals. Complete list is on the site, http://www.goprovidence.com/RW/.

Among Providence downtown and East Side participants: Bacaro (http://www.bacarorestaurant.net), Cook & Brown (www.cookandbrown.com), Gracie's (www.graciesprovidence.com), Farmstead/La Laiterie (www.farmsteadinc.com/lalaiterie/),  and Pizzico (www.pizzicoristorante.com/)
If past history is a good indication Cook & Brown and Gracie's will treat you very well during restaurant week.

Across the highway: Loie Fuller's (www.loiefullers.com/)
I like this eatery on the artsy west-side where few restaurants participate (notably missing: Nick's, Julien's and Broadway Bistro).

Out of town: Hourglass Brasserie on Thames Street in Bristol (www.hourglassbrasserie.com/)
This is one I will book.

Expense account giants: Ruth Chris (www.ruthschris.com/), Capital Grille (www.thecapitalgrille.com) and McCormick & Schmick's (www.mccormickandschmicks.com)
Restaurant weeks are the only weeks when you can get sane prices at these tourist/business account/parent weekend haunts.

July 7 - 20
