Traveling during spring can be challenging. There are often dramatic shifts in weather, alternating
balmy, sunlit skies with freezing snow flurries, not to mention that there is usually a lot of rain. But the rain brings
about things that make travel worth it for a foodie, like the first crops of the year for many varieties of seasonal
fruits and vegetables. Eating well prepared, seasonal specialties is a treat, especially when so many restaurants serve
supermarket fare.
While some restaurants will add a seasonal special or two to their menus, there are a handful of restaurants that specialize in specials. These seasonal restaurants are open for only a few weeks each year. They're not open during the summer tourist season, only when their special ingredients are at their peak in the spring. They can be hard to find, usually known only to the locals in the area, but according to the New York Times, it's worth tracking them down.
