With so many unique establishments and so much to celebrate, we wanted to make sure you were able to keep track of it all.

This week, try something different and unexpected.
And where better than at Empire Eats? For Triangle Restaurant Week, we're shaking it up. The Pit's in on the action this time with a "rib-panadas" appetizer, a slow-roasted pot roast and to-die-for bittersweet chocolate pudding.

If you'd rather pick your beer than your courses, head to The Raleigh Times for lunch or dinner for a new twist on "happy hour" with a pick-your-own beer flight paired with a daily special menu.

Expect to see plenty of favorites and new treats on special Triangle Restaurant Week menus at Gravy and Sitti, such as a beet, tangerine and goat cheese salad at Sitti and the hearty white beans and clams at Gravy.

Triangle Restaurant Week is Jan. 23 - 29.
Why go anywhere else?
