If you need incentive to dine out and save a few dollars, it's here, in the form of Downtown Atlanta Restaurant Week . From July 18-26, diners will be able to enjoy signature brunch, lunch and dinner prix fixe menus for $15, $25 or $35 at over 35 restaurants. Prices are per person and exclude alcohol, tax and gratuity.

Participating restaurants include favorites such as Polaris , Pittypat's Porch , Ray's In The City , Alma Cocina , Asante and Braves's All-Star Grill .

Downtown Atlanta Restaurant Week is the original of all Atlanta neighborhood Restaurant Weeks, and this year will mark its 13th anniversary.

Walk-ins will be permissible, but diners may also make reservations by visiting http://www.atlantadowntown.com/fun/restaurant-week.

While downtown, diners are also encouraged to ride the Atlanta Streetcar , which runs a 2.7-mile east-west route. Streetcars run approximately every 10-15 minutes.
