Jan 6, 2009
San Francisco is a foodie’s paradise with a wealth of award-winning restaurants and one of the best reasons to visit the city is the variety of great food.
But since trying to eat out at them all can leave a huge dent in the travel budget, why not schedule a trip during the city’s Dine About Town promotion?
What Are the Details of San Francisco‘s Dine About Town?
This bi-annual restaurant promotion is presented by the San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau, and sponsored by The San Francisco Chronicle and Macy’s West.
The 2009 winter edition of the city’s discounted restaurant promotion occurs January 15 through 31. This will be the promotion’s eighth year.
During this time period, over 100 restaurants, bistros, diners and pubs will offer a prix fixe three-course meal, which generally consist of an appetizer, an entrée and dessert, for up to 50% off normal prices.
Participating restaurants will offer a special lunch deal for $21.95 or a special dinner menu for $34.95. Some may even offer both. Considering on a normal visit, the entrees alone can be that much, this event offers great dining deals to those vacationing in San Francisco during this time period.
