...readers new to the scene, during restaurant week, Boston’s eateries (including some of the most upscale and celebrated) offer three course prix fixe menus at $20.09 for lunch and $33.09 for dinner. This year, 224 Boston-area restaurants are participating, and, for the first time, some restaurants are serving a two-course lunch for only $15.09. That’s only slightly more expensive than a HUDS dinner—but instead of another variation of chicken and overcooked pasta, you can dine on seared ahi tuna, yellowtail sole with haricots verts, brandade potatoes and nicoise olive...

...centers and restaurants, the southwestern outskirts of Albuquerque are vast and windswept, with tumbleweeds careering across the barren landscape. Dirt bikers tear up and down sandy hillsides, gleeful that nobody is around to be disturbed by the whine of their engines. Through the years, this isolation has made the area popular for dumping the occasional unwanted body.
