Happening now through Jan. 31. According to the S.F. Convention and Visitors site: "Dozens of favorite and new San Francisco restaurants will offer creative yet affordable three-course prix-fixe menus at $21.95 for lunch and $31.95 for dinner.

This is your chance to savor some of the nation’s most talked-about cuisine at SF’s hottest restaurants without breaking the bank."

Just got a promotional email from Parker Villas, offering a villa in Italy’s Chianti region (accommodates 31) for $4,800 a week. Yes, folks, one-week. The good news is the price includes daily breakfast and a couple of buffet dinners.
