Wednesdays, Thursdays & Sundays
We adore steakhouses, but a slab of beef with all the trimmings can take a big bite out of anybody’s stimulus package. Not to worry, the swank Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse offers a slew of incredible deals that won't break your budget. Every Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday nights, from 5 p.m.-11 p.m., feast on the likes of filet mignon tops with chateau potatoes, pesto-crusted salmon with spring mix and cheesesteak dumplings with spicy ketchup---all for just $5 each. Special drink prices, too. Another option is the three-course $35 prime rib entree, offered just on Sundays. Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse, Packard Building, 1426 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, PA 19102, 215-246-0533.
 

Mondays
Forget Monday night football. Every Monday is meatball madness at London Grill, where chef Michael McNally serves all kinds of meatballs–think duck meatballs, eggplant meatballs, venison meatballs–you get the idea. London Grill, 2301 Fairmount Ave., Philadelphia, 215-978-4545.

Ongoing
