To some people, winter in Portland is all about crackling fires and parking bans. To me, it means finally being able to score a table at some of my favorite restaurants without being forced to eat dinner at 4:30 or 10 p.m. It means sauntering into my favorite bakery after noon, knowing I'm probably still going to leave with more than a bag of day-old cookies. Restaurant Week feels like a celebration of this in-between time when the crowds of tourists have thinned. It's a time to get out and reconnect with our food-mad city (and its neighbors).
