SEPTEMBER 30 to MAY 7

If you go straight to the symphony, your stomach will be growling all through Mozart’s finest, so you’d be wise to stop by the Oak Room (Fairmont Copley Plaza, 138 Saint James Avenue, Boston) from 5:30 to 6:30 pm, anytime between September 30 and May 7, 2006. That’s when the award-winning restaurant is offering a special pre-symphony menu to celebrate the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s 125th anniversary. Along with a three-course dinner, the promotion features two glasses of Champagne and a BSO CD. The cost is $125 for two, excluding tax and gratuity; the offer is not available on holidays. Call 617.267.5300, ext. 1048, for reservations and information.
