Why is Restaurant Week in the winter?
It’s almost an indisputable fact that summer is the best time in Annapolis. Indisputable because fall might have something to say about that. So why is Restaurant Week in the dead of winter? Because winter is a tough time for restaurants in a tourist town like ours. So check out these participating restaurants, pick a prix fixe menu, and Bon Appétit! Restaurant Week runs through March 3.

Mids over Chargers
We love to brag about how great Annapolis is. So, you can imagine our pride when we heard that NFL coaches are trying to recruit Navy football defensive coordinator PJ Volker. Reaching the NFL is pretty much a dream gig for any football coach and Volker was offered a job as linebackers coach for the LA Chargers. But he said no because he loves the Naval Academy and Annapolis. Sounds like Navy Football really is the GOAT 🐐 ($)
