Let's do lunch downtown!

If you haven't already noticed (much thanks to my countless restaurant-related blog entries), I'm a bit of a foodie.  I adore all types of culinary combinations, whether it be greasy burgers, spicy pad thai or creamy pasta alfredo.  Walking into a downtown restaurant, I feel like a kid in a candy store.

That being said, when I heard news of Let's Do Lunch Downtown, I was absolutely thrilled.

Let's Do Lunch Downtown is an event organized by the Downtown Winnipeg BIZ.  From March 5 to March 30, various restaurants all over city central will offer special pricing on some of their most popular plates.
