Yes, tomorrow! As usual, there will be plenty of restaurants (over 200!) to pick from. This season, the prices are $15, 25 and 35 for lunch and $25, 35 and 45 for dinner. My husband and I will likely be stopping by Trevor Kitchen and Bar again. Known for their complimentary cotton candy at the end of the meal, their Winterlicious menu has many items to choose from, including a vegan tofu tempura, which comes with mushrooms, green beans (or, as the menu says, “haricot verts” and tofu bacon). The tofu, which was on their Summerlicious 2013 menu, is a take on an item currently listed on their menu as “crispy tofu with autumn vegetables, mushrooms and tofu bacon.”

In addition to the prix fixe program, many venues will also be holding special events. The Drake, for example, will have a “strolling fashion brunch” on February 1 (two times available – one at 11 am and another at 1 pm, with tickets at $49) where guests can much on bite-sized brunch goodies while models, wearing the latest trends from over 40 vendors. Another event which looks interesting is called “The Perfect Finish: Wine, Cheese and Chocolate” at the Rosewater (February 6, tickets are $50). This event will teach attendees how to pair wines with cheeses and chocolate. Great way to learn and show off the next time you host a dinner party…or for Valentine’s Day! I am unsure if I will be able to attend any of them, and to be quite honest, it’ll be very difficult to pick which ones to go to!
Winterlicious starts on January 31 and runs until February 13.
