Event pick: Seafood Restaurant Week

Well, of course char-broiled oysters are on the Restaurant Week menu at Drago’s.

We live to eat.

And the Louisiana Restaurant Association is capitalizing on this epicurean attitude, with an inaugural We Live to Eat: Louisiana Seafood Restaurant Week designed to showcase both cuisine and crustaceans.

More than two dozen New Orleans restaurants are offering two-course lunches for $20 and three-course dinners for $35, today (Sept. 12) through Sunday. Participants range from such restaurant heavyweights as Commander’s Palace, Arnaud’s, August and Brigtsen’s to more egalitarian eateries like O’Henry’s, Pascal’s Manale and Drago’s.
