Almost all of the good restaurants in town have specials going on right now. Once of the fanciest restaurants has a different prix-fixe special every weekday evening. The bars are also advertising their happy hours more. Several of the restaurants here have also started giving discounts when students show their university ID. Also, more of the high-end restaurants are showing up in the coupon book given to students through Res Life. The fancy restaurants here are also opening more casual outlets--one of the nice Italian places has opened a deli inside the restaurant.
For the first time this year, the restaurants in my town got together with the Chamber of Commerce for a promotional week wherein every participating restaurant offered a discounted tasting menu, and the Chamber offered a coupon for people to take with them. We weren't able to go as they scheduled it for right in the middle of midterms, but hopefully they'll do it again next year.
