Mondays must be a very slow dining night in downtown Youngstown. An Italian restaurant is offering a bottle of wine to each table of four dining at the restaurant on Monday evening.
:o
Which restaurant might that be?
I wasn't trying to promote the restaurant. It did open within the last year though.
Unless some big event is taking place in downtown Youngstown, most restaurants have very little business in the evenings from Monday through Thursday.
That's understandable. Most people I know go everywhere else but downtown after daytime business hours.

JAY: Do you know how to answer a question. You always leave us in the dust about stuff. F.E.: You will be like a local business is going to close if we don't support it. Well umm we know to know which one to maybe help out a bit.
SO WHAT RESTAURANT??
On more than one occasion, my table of friends accounted for 50% of the customers in one downtown restaurant on a weekday evening.
There has to be a better way to promote dining at downtown restaurants. Does anyone have some suggestions?

Word of mouth. Most people will not try a restaurant without someone else's experience. There is nothing more disheartening, then to order a meal and be disappointed to know you wasted money.
The other big problem for downtown restaurants is most people's feeling of not being safe....no matter how true it may or may not be. The same problem happened in Cleveland until big money developers took over a few blocks.
I hope all the downtown restaurants are full on Monday, October 16, and Tuesday, October 17. Jesus Christ Superstar, the touring show, will be at Powers Auditorium on both nights.
Entertainment Books
Do any downtown restaurants have coupons in the Entertainment Books? Many organizations sell these coupon books as a way of raising funds.
