Some restaurants will offer pre-fixed menus as their special deals, while others will have a flat discount.

The goal of the weeklong event is to highlight the city's dining options and attract customers from surrounding boroughs or suburbs.

A few of the participating restaurants are outside the city in Monroeville, Cranberry Township, Moon Township, Robinson Township, Scott Township, Penn Hills, Peters Township, McCandless and Ohio Township.

Reservations are a good idea because some of the most popular restaurants get booked up.
