The prix fixe menus are $15 or $25 for lunch and $35 or $45 for dinner. Also, those who’ve had a DDW meal can complete an online survey and have the chance to win a dining gift card.

To whet your appetite for this event, organizer Milwaukee Downtown BID #21 has now released the menus for DDW. For example, if you go to ARIA for dinner ($45), you get a choice of soup or Caesar salad, entree (Broast-ish chicken, hanger steak frites, salmon salsa verde or grilled baby eggplant with quinoa and pomegranate tabbouleh) and seasonal tart for dessert.
