We've all said it; I wish a week was longer than 7 days. Binghamton Restaurant Week has come to the rescue! It's like a Bakers dozen (13 instead of 12).  A Binghamton Restaurant Week lasts 9 days. It  begins on Tuesday (what a novel day, to start a week) and runs til Thursday the 27th.

It's a wonderful idea of promoting local dining while raising money for local charities. 22 restaurants are involved with special lunch and dinner pricing.  This year a portion of the proceeds of every lunch and dinner sold will be donated to The Boys and Girls Club of Binghamton.  You now have a great reason to eat out for the next week (or nine days).  You can enjoy a local dining experience while raising money for the Boys and Girls Club of Binghamton.  Go to www.binghamtonrestaurantweek.com to see the businesses involved and their daily specials.  Now if I can only get my boss to approve a 9 day vacation week, then I'm all set.
