Taste of Downtown is an annual event sponsored by the Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance that gives you a great excuse to eat out in the middle of the week. Several locally-owned restaurants in the downtown area participate by adding a featured special to their menu that shows off the best their kitchen has to offer. The best part is that you get to eat good food for at a great price. Favorite choices:
- Joshua Wilton House has a $35 three-course meal that includes a glass of wine. Call ahead for the day’s menu and reservations.
- Cally’s does a selection of appetizers, entrees, desserts and a tasting of microbrews for $20. Last year, this won the ‘holy-cow-that’s-a-lot-of-food’ award.
- Jack Brown’s – If you haven’t tried it yet, now’s the time. $10 for lunch or $12 dinner. Kobe beef burger, fries, beer…what else is there?
- Artful Dodger has a $10 entree and cocktail special.
- For lunch, check out Clementine’s ($6 soup & griddle), Smokin’ Pig ($5 BBQ meal), Old Dominion Coffee ($7 wrap and drink) or Cally’s ($8 BBQ platter).
I plan to take full advantage of this opportunity to skip cooking. Awards will go to the restaurants for most food, best deal, biggest surprise and I wouldn’t eat it if it was free.
