From conversations with neighbors in the elevator as well as with friends around my dining room table, I know that the state of the economy has forced many folks to reduced or, in some cases, erased their budget for restaurant meals. Restaurants across the country are feeling the pinch as we tighten our belts and eat at home and so have joined forces with the online reservation service OpenTable in the hopes that a good deal might lure you back.
From November 17th through the 21st, they're offering an 'Appetite Stimulus Plan' in 13 cities across the country. All participating restaurants are offering a three-course meal that will cost $24 for lunch or $35 for dinner. Here in the Philly area, there are more than 60 restaurants have signed on, and many are places that typically cost far more than $35 for dinner.
The other participating cities include Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C.
