7-days a week you can eat a fanciful Indian lunch, buffet style at Palace at the Ben.  The lunch runs daily from 11:30 am to 3 pm for just $9.95 per person. [details]

Sullivan’s Steakhouse in King of Prussia has 4 new dining options, including a couple $29 3-course menus. [details]

Tangerine is offering a daily seasonal menu set at $39 for 3 courses.

Previously, we reported La Fourno was offering deep discounts for the unemployed. The idea is spreading with other South Street eateries like Copabanana and North being added to the list. Combine that with the $3 parking we mentioned previously and you’ve really got something. [SouthStreet.com] via The Insider.
