dineLA Restaurant Week is Extended!
Photo by Elise Thompson for LAist When is a week not a week? when it's two weeks. Err, make that three weeks. dineLA Restaurant Week is being extended Oct.18-23! The list of participating restaurants has also been reconfigured. It is much more readable now, and you are able to see which restaurants are offering lunch without having to click on their page.
Sadly, quite a few restaurants have dropped out of the additional week, such as Morels, The Bluewater Grill, and The Whale and Ale. But there are still some fantastic restaurants on the list -- check the list to see if your favorites are still there!
[Update 10/18 the site has been returned to its original layout. The Whale and Ale, Bluefish Grill and Morels are all on the re-revised list]
