Restaurant Week is coming to LA!
The second DineLA brings fixed-price lunch and dinner menus to local upper crusty restaurants, making them affordable for the masses. Yipee! I'm hungry already!
DineLA is Jan. 25 to 30 and Feb. 1 to 6. You can book reservations online at select restaurants now. Reservations officially open Jan. 11.
There are three pricing categories.
($) Deluxe Dining is $16 for lunch; $26 for dinner
($$) Premier Dining is $22 for lunch; $34 for dinner
($$$) Fine Dining is $28 for lunch; $44 for dinner
Browse the list of participating restaurants here. I would love to eat again at Chaya Venice or Roy's in Woodland Hills. Are there any restaurants on the list that you recommend?

This post made me really hungry!
This is a great idea! It's unfortunate that so many of these restaurants don't include dishes in the appetizer and entree categories for ovo-lacto-vegetarians (we eat everything but meat and fish). It keeps people like me from trying out a restaurant. For the ones that have included something vegetarian - kudos! Still, it's not a lot of options.
Heard tonight that Dean and Carolina are axing more positions at the Daily News on Thursday or no later than Friday...supposedly five non-exempts and two exempts.
I hope Dean's latest action does not affect you, but unfortunately it appears the layoffs will impact those you may already work with or know of at the ever shrinking Daily News.
I didn't know the Daily News had that many employees left? All that space in your new building. Another furniture sale?...LOL
I also found out today that Dean issued pink slips to employees at his other LANG newspapers, and that he his consolidating all of the LANG newspapers (except for the Daily News, Press-Telegram and Daily Breeze...for now) copy and editors desks into and at the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.
To me, if I were a writer working on a story about the San Fernando Valley, but have an editor who is more familiar with the Inland Empire assigned to edit my story who probably knows very little about the inner workings and nuances of the San Fernando Valley....Dean might as well as hang it up and consolidate all of the damn LANG newspapers into one Daily Singleton.
or
Dean could take the radical approach that the Orange County Register and Freedom did just this week with their East Valley Tribune newspaper in the eastern suburbs of Phoenix. Eliminate home delivery altogether, drop Tempe and Scottsdale altogether, concentrate solely on four cities and distribute the paper for free four days per week through the newstand. If that isn't radical, I don't know what is. I know this as I received a letter at my other home in Arizona advising me that the East Valley Tribune has ceased all home delivery, and wanting to know if they could donate the rest of my subscription balance to charity (I knew this was happening, we were advised in October that the paper was shrinking to four days a week, but we were not advised that home delivery was stopping altogether).
As I have said before, the Daily News has become so thin, I wonder why Dean even continues producing the paper? Does the Daily News generate enough cash flow to justify staying open? Yes, advertising is down. Yes, craigslist has torn to shreds the classifieds. Circulation is down as well. People just are not reading the paper in print as they used to, and consumers aren't willing to pay for the newspaper on line, other than The Wall Street Journal and a few other newspapers.
If you do get the tap on the shoulder, I hope Tribune picks you up for the L.A. Times and their expanding and localized deal blog. Sam Zell really likes a laser-like local focus. You could even pop-up every now and then on KTLA with Bargain Hunter reports for T.V.! Just think....Bargain Hunter on a live remote for Lincoln Lunch...LOL
If you have a bargaining agreement, read through it carefully to protect yourself. No fan of the union here and fought many battles over the years at the negotiating table with various unions, but sometimes even management screws up on force reductions when a bargaining agreement is in place.
Since this is a "bargain" blog...LOL, here's a money saving tip the next time you rent a DVD from DVD Play located exclusively at select Vons and Pavilions stores.
Use promotion code "WOW75" at the checkout screen for a .75c DVD rental. The code will work only once per credit and/or debit card.
Unlike Redbox which permits returns until 9:00 p.m. the following day, DVD Play requires the return of the DVD by 7:00 p.m. the following day.
Another bonus, DVD Play has select Blu-ray discs available to rent at the same price as regular DVD's...$1.00 per day!

Daily Grill is an awesome choice.
SO_CAL_RETAIL_SLUT's comments are generally informative but looong. This one wasn't appropriate to the topic of Restaurant Week. However, knowing someone who works at Lang and having had contact with you via your blog sparked my interest.
Ate once at Roy's; wouldn't go back.
Why not? What happened when you went to Roy's? ~Julia
