During Downtown Dining Week (Nov. 16 - 22), participating restaurants will offer $10.14 lunch specials and dinner specials for $20.14. That does not include taxes or gratuity.

This year, The Roo is offering rides from 11 a.m - 2 p.m. from Monday through Friday. It's $2 per ride (one way). Go here for details and routes. Parking is $1 from 6 p.m. - 10 p.m. at the Riverfront Garage and First Place Parking Garage if you print and bring this coupon.

Not all places require a reservation, but I absolutely recommend it if at all possible. Or going early. Some of the spots can get very crowded during this week.
