Great food doesn’t have to cost more than a car payment, and the second annual Downtown Dine Around proves it.

During the showcase of downtown restaurants, you’ll find crazy-good prices on some of the city’s best meals: $2 for crab cake sliders at Ghost Lounge or tacos at Sam’s Café; $2.50 for Sing High’s signature egg rolls; $3 for bacon-wrapped dates at District or shepherd’s pie at Seamus McCaffrey’s.

The event showcases 11 restaurants in all, and with all of them within walking distance of the light rail, you’ll have a ride home that’s also significantly cheaper than a car payment.
