Hello, Brooklyn diners! Yesterday Borough President Marty Markowitz announced the sixth annual “Dine in Brooklyn” event [pdf], a ten day savings smorgasbord featuring deals at nearly 200 Brooklyn restaurants. Like the unflagging Winter Restaurant "Week" in Manhattan (which has turned into Restaurant Epoch), Dine in Brooklyn is all about the prix fixe. But here in Kings County the deals are better: $23 for a three-course dinner, as opposed to $35 in Manhattan. The deal starts March 23 and continues through April 2nd; participating restaurants include The Grocery in Carroll Gardens, The River Café in DUMBO, Bussaco in Park Slope, and Aurora in Williamsburg. Select restaurants will also be doing a $23 "brunch for two" deal, while others will being going insaaaane with $23 "dinner for two" deals. Peruse the full list of participating eateries here; they're all promising "quality food, no attitude on the side." In exchange, Markowitz yesterday reminded budget-conscious diners not to fuggedabout properly tipping their servers.

Marty Markowitz: President of Mixed Messages? Every summer he tells fat people in Brooklyn to lose some weight already with his “Lighten Up Brooklyn” program, but in the spring he’s all, “You look great! Now eat at as many of these local restaurants as you can!” Last week the borough president (pictured) announced the impending arrival of Brooklyn’s version of Restaurant Week, called Dine in Brooklyn. This year it runs from March 24th to the 31st and features three course prix-fixe menus at over 200 restaurants in Kings County.
