Saturday Special

Palio d’Asti is now open on Saturday nights again, from 6pm–9pm. (They haven’t been open on Saturdays since 1995.) On Saturdays only, they will also throw in a complimentary antipasto platter. And one thing to note: there’s plenty of free street parking around there after 7pm, so you can actually go out in heels without the hike. A few other enticing details: every night, including Saturday, the first martini is only $1 with a three-course meal ($37/head, no matter what you order). And if you’re doing the three-courser, there is no corkage either (every night)! That makes for one heck of an inexpensive meal: a $1 martini, $37 for three courses, and you could even bring your own wine. Plus a free antipasto platter if you’re comin’ in on a Saturday.
