How to Find Local Restaurants with Inexpensive Meals and/or Early Bird Specials

Metromix.com is a nightlife and dining guide to dozens of major cities and regions which offers a great way to find inexpensive local restaurants as well as local restaurants with early bird specials.

Yelp.com is a review service which covers quite a few cities. Go to the city of your choice and type in "early bird special"... or click on "Restaurants" and search for "inexpensive" or "cheap". We really like Yelp because it gives actual recommendations of what selections are particularly good... or bad. Kind of like having a very savvy and well-traveled friend suggest a great place to eat or wonderful dish to try.

Another way to find restaurants with Early Bird Specials in your city of town, go to Google.com and enter "early bird special" (in quotes) and the name of your town.
