DineLA Restaurant Week
dineLA's Restaurant Week is a consecutive 12-day event that takes place bi-annually in the summer and the winter. Hundreds of fine dining restaurants in Los Angeles, California, participate in this showcase of cultural diversity as they offer prix fixe meals to locals and tourists alike for a fraction of their normal prices. The dining experiences vary from "quaint and kitschy to red-carpet treatment" and offer an array of choices to choose from. This event encourages diners to experience new places that they never would have gotten the chance to try otherwise.
