How to Eat Out on the Cheap in Harrisonburg

If you know us at all, you are fully aware that we love food. The fact that our office is nestled in the heart of the downtown Culinary District makes our hearts (and bellies) sing. Eating, for us, isn’t a problem. The problem comes when we want to dine on our favorite dishes but the budget doesn’t allow for it. So, another good reason to have an office downtown means that we can stay on the pulse of where the best deals are at our favorite restaurants.

    Why are the only restaurants mentioned located in Downtown only? There are other places who offer great food and specials in other parts of Harrisonburg.
