DineLA Returning in 2009

Just announced: DineLA is set to return next January, with three price points for prix-fixe lunch and dinners. The 2008 event, which spanned two weeks and had the participation of 140 restaurants, was apparently enough of a success for sponsors to bring it back. LAist covered the event, of course, and our hungry staffers will surely be ready for more. If you can't wait until January, however, check out Wine and DineLA, a similar event meant to celebrate California wines. Restaurants like AOC, Simon LA, Patina, and Spago are participating; the event runs from September 7th-21st.
