If you arrive early in New Mexico for FMCA's 83rd International Convention, you might want to take note of a delectable promotion. The state's first Restaurant Week debuts in Albuquerque from March 7 to 13 and in Santa Fe from Feb. 28 to March 6. The event is a unique opportunity to experience extraordinary menus from the area’s finest restaurants. Approximately 70 restaurants are participating in both cities. Restaurants are featuring three-course, prix-fixe dinner menus for $25 per person, $25 for two, or, at a few restaurants, $40 per person. A variety of culinary activities are on tap for Restaurant Week, including cooking and mixology demonstrations and wine tastings. Information on restaurants, menu selections and events can be found at www.newmexicorestaurantweek.com. Site visitors can register to win restaurant gift certificates in the Restaurant Week Sweepstakes giveaway. “The response from restaurants, hotels and sponsors has been extremely enthusiastic,” said Michele Ostrove, president of Wings Media Network, the public relations and marketing firm that organized the promotion. “Locals and visitors alike are excited about a new culinary event in New Mexico -- especially one that makes so many fine dining choices affordable for everyone. The hard part will be choosing where to eat.” “Red or green?” may be New Mexico’s official state question, but diners will be facing many more delectable choices during Restaurant Week.
