Hi Joyce,
I have a one more for you that I’ve heard about and is still happening:
Bistro Pastis – Their “Recession Remedy Menu runs from January 14 through February 10, 2010. $24 for any two courses or $29 for all three
Goldfish also had one, but it ended on already on the 24th.

Thanks Victoria. I’ll update the post tomorrow (I also got your email with the info). The Goldfish menu is actually listed under “Dine Out Joe Fortes” since they’re sister restaurants. LOL Frank pointed that out to me, too, I guess it wasn’t obvious enough.

I should start an Olympic one for the month of Feb – thinking a number of restaurants will be capitalizing on it…
