There are Restaurant Week’s across the country. There are Restaurant Weeks across the Capital Region. But there is only one Downtown<\/a>\u00a0Albany Restaurant Week<\/a>. Well if you want to get technical, the event in Downtown Albany happens twice a year – but you get my point. Lucky for you, the Spring dates for Restaurant Week are coming up fast April 21 – 28, 2012<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Appearing for the first time at the 8th Bi-Annual Downtown Albany Restaurant Week is The Merry Monk, a new Belgian restaurant and pub that opened up on N Pearl and Sheridan in December and Wolf’s One-11 adjacent to the Times Union Center.<\/p>\n

And back this Spring after a short hiatus, is Marche, the farm-to-fresh fine dining establishment housed in the boutique hotel, 74 State. In all there are 17 different restaurants to check out and enjoy.<\/p>\n

New this year is Student Night<\/a> on Monday, April 23, 2012. Students who show a valid ID will receive the Restaurant Week menu at La Serre and V & R Italian Ristorante for just $15. 12. But the offer is only good on the 23rd<\/sup> and at those two restaurants.<\/p>\n
