While I have enjoyed many grease-stained bags full of cajun fries and burgers from the Chinatown spot, I shed a little tear when I went to the mega-mall in Durham, NC, with my mom a few months back and saw a Five Guys in the food court — smashed right between some crappy Chinese joint and a Subway. The expansion continues...

Another email came today with a little clarification. Looks like you need an actual copy of the email: "This Sunday will be the first night of our special summer promotion to introduce you to Roberto's new menu. Starting on Sunday, July 3rd and running throughout the entire summer we will offer our Galileo menu and wine list for half price Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights at dinner time and Monday and Tuesday for lunch (Galileo is not open for lunch on Sundays). This exclusive offer is only available to you, our loyal customers. To take advantage of this special offer, please bring a copy of this e-mail message and present it to your waiter upon being seated."

I did the exact same thing and even started writing the post that way...until I re-read. So has anyone gone for the deal yet? I feel like it would be awkward to have to bring up that you want half off the bill to your waiter. Maybe I'm just a wimp though.

Anyone see the email from Galileo advertising their new menu and entire wine list is half price Sunday-Tuesday through August? Seems pretty amazing. I know August is super slow but wow... Apologies for straying from the Grill thread...

If it's modern decor your after, check out Oya, by far one of the coolest interiors in the city. That is, if you can afford the exorbitantly priced cocktails... maybe splurge on one and then stick with beer. I'd also ditto the previous recs of Palette, Bossa and Helix. When is said date?
