\nIf you haven\u2019t taken part in it before, here\u2019s what you need to know: many great restaurants around the city create a prix fixe menu for a set amount and it runs between certain dates.

You\u2019ll also want to make reservations ahead of time because spots for Winterlicious fill up fast. This year it runs from January 29 until February 11 so start planning!<\/p>\n
