It’s California Restaurant Month—here’s the rundown

Congratulations, you made it through your first full week back to work after the holidays. In my book, it’s the toughest week of the year; the week you most need something to look forward to. For some, that means planning a last-minute weekend getaway somewhere nearby; for others it means making plans to go out with friends you missed during the chaos of the holiday season. If your plans include either, you’re in luck because January is California Restaurant Month, and eateries in areas all over the state are offering specially priced prix-fixe menus and other discounts. Deals vary by location, so be sure to check out the details on Visit California’s website, linked to below.
