That’s right people, another year … another opportunity to skedaddle to Downtown Atlanta for some dining deals.

Every restaurant is offering up a $25 prix fixe meal for $25. Included in the menu is an appetizer, an entrée, and a dessert. While this doesn’t include beverages, tax, or tip – it’s still one hell of a deal. I’ve taken the liberty of collecting the list of restaurants for ya’ll and provided a link to OpenTable so you can make your reservations! Oh yeah, Atlanta Downtown has put up a preferred parking list to help you find a spot for your transportation.
