Travel to Denver in February and experience seven days of culinary excellence. February 21-27 is Denver Restaurant Week, and this year, 198 of Denver’s finest restaurants are serving up a taste of mile-high cuisine. With multi-course dinners at a fixed price of $26.40 per person (not including tax and tip), you can eat 5-star meals without paying 5-star prices.
Plan your travel around Denver Restaurant Week and let food be your guide. Visit Denver’s “LoDo” neighborhood and try Corridor 44. For $26.50 you can begin with lemongrass seared diver scallop salad with fennel, ruby grapefruit and baby mâche; followed by “44” surf 'n turf plate with herb crusted filet mignon & grilled white shrimp; and if you have room, petite chocolate truffles. If you don’t feel like trying to catch a cab home, book a cheap Denver hotel room at the Hotel Teatro and enjoy a short two-block walk.
Travel to Denver’s Capital Hill neighborhood and check out Mizuna. For the same low price as Corridor 44, you can try the unique taste of this American-style, French infusion cuisine. Chefs at Mizuna are famous for altering their menu monthly to incorporate fresh, seasonal ingredients. For Denver Restaurant Week, the fixed-price dinner begins with chestnut cavatelli braised veal with wild mushrooms, and is followed by tilefish crispy calamari, jasmine rice and edamame with a Thai-lobster reduction. For desert, enjoy warm valrhona chocolate cake with macadamia nut brittle and malted ice cream.
From sushi to steak, Denver Restaurant Week is sure to please your palate. Pair a delicious meal with a cheap Denver hotel and create the perfect Denver vacation. February is right around the corner, so make sure to make your travel and restaurant reservations today.

If you get cheap airfare, New York can be an inexpensive place to travel. How? Well, here are a few ideas:
"The New York City Waterfalls" art installation, a set of four waterfalls in the East River, is a free public art exhibit. The waterfalls are located on Pier 35 in Manhattan, under the Brooklyn Bridge, between piers 4 and 5 in Brooklyn and on the north shore of Governor’s Island. You can see the falls from land, or take the free Staten Island Ferry or Governor’s Island Ferry. The exhibit runs through October 13.
Want more art? Many New York museums offer free or discounted admission at certain times of the week. Get details.
You can enjoy the beauty and serenity of Central Park for free on your own, or take one of the many free walking tours offered by the Central Park Conservancy. Or, you can take free walking tours of the Grand Central area — including the Grand Central Terminal and Chrysler Building — or Wall Street.
If you want to plan a last minute trip and travel to New York this weekend, you can catch a free Broadway concert. Broadway on Broadway, on Sunday, September 14, is a free outdoor concert featuring stars from many popular Broadway productions. The concert kicks off at 11:30 a.m. in Times Square.

If it seems like we talk a lot about restaurant week events, you’re right. But it’s just because we love travel and food — and when you can get deals on both, we’ve got to let you know.
Today, we’re highlighting Miami Spice, a food-lovers’ event in a beach-lovers’ paradise. During the event, about 100 restaurants in Miami are offering lunches for $23 and/or dinners for $36 (not including drinks, tax and tip).
Participating restaurants stretch across the Miami metro area, so whether you’re staying at one of the hip South Beach hotels, somewhere downtown or in Surfside, you’ll find a restaurant close by.
A few South Beach/Miami Beach restaurants participating in Miami Spice include Ola Restaurant in the Sanctuary Hotel, Emeril’s, Miami Beach in the Loews Miami Beach Hotel and Sushisamba droMo.
On the mainland, you could eat at Tony Chan’s Restaurant Club in the Doubletree Grand Hotel, Cacao Restaurant in Coral Gables or Baleen Miami in Coconut Grove.
Miami Spice runs through September 30, so you’ve got a whole month to travel to Miami to enjoy the sights and tastes of the city.

The second annual Las Vegas Restaurant Week runs September 1-7.
Participating restaurants offer lunches for $25.08 and dinners for $50.08 (excluding drinks, tax and tip), with a portion of the proceeds benefiting a local organization that fights hunger.
Restaurants in this year’s lineup include some of the top spots at Las Vegas hotels: Bradley Ogden and Mesa Grill at Caesar’s Palace; Fiamma and L’Atelier de Joel Robouchon at the MGM Grand; Japonais at the Mirage Hotel and Casino; StripSteak at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino; and Stratta at WYNN Las Vegas.
Need some help choosing? Fiamma serves its dinner family style, so you can select three entrees to share — like the risotto with lobster, scallops and shrimp; chicken with polenta and prosciutto-wrapped asparagus; and braised beef short ribs. Or, save room for coconut rum cake with vanilla ice cream at Bradley Ogden.
But that’s only the beginning. More than 70 restaurants are participating in Las Vegas Restaurant Week, so choose one of your favorite Las Vegas hotels, and eat your heart out!
