rw08 It happened once before in 2009, when the weather was so bad that the turnout for restaurant week wasn’t what was expected, so they added a second week.  For years a handful of the  participating eateries have carried their dining deals over, so their regulars can enjoy without the crowds.  This winters frigid weather seems to have affected the early week of 3 course meal deals enough that 30 area dining establishments have committed to carry the $20.14, $25.14 and $30.14 specials for one more week.
