Dine Out Boston, formerly known as Restaurant Week, is in full swing, running through March 18. The event features dining deals, with special lunch ($15-$25) and dinner ($28-$38) menus. But sometimes Boston just wants to dine in. This year, food-delivery service Grubhub has partnered with some participating restaurants to make the dream of magically materializing multicourse meals come true. Now there’s no need to leave the living room for the likes of loc lac (pictured) from Elephant Walk. Why depart your domicile for Davio’s dish of the day? And Met Back Bay’s meatball flatbread may be just as well met back at home. Fine service, convivial atmosphere, and the company of friends have their time and place. So do PJs, Netflix, and a three-course meal on the couch. Go to bostonrestoweek.grubhub.com. For more information on Dine Out Boston, go to www.bostonusa.com/visit/dineoutboston. DEVRA FIRST
