In celebration of the Fall Maine Restaurant Week, PortlandTown has published a set of photos taken Wednesday night at David’s 388.
MRW organizers Jim and Gillian Britt were interviewed for an article about the week long event in today’s Portland Daily Sun.

Next time, says event organizer Jim Britt, it may be that the fall version of RW is moved later into the year, after Election Day and a bit away from what has turned out to be a fairly busy week.

“We’re competing with a lot of other things,” said Britt in an interview Wednesday.
