M: (12) Have you heard about the new restaurant, the Pearl? Susan and I are going to try it out this weekend. We have a reservation on Saturday at 7 o'clock. I can call to add two more to the table if you'd like.
W: That sounds great. We'd love to join you. You always seem to know the best places to go. Where do you hear about these things?
M: I have a habit of reading (614) Magazine. (13) It has all the information on local events within the(614) column code area.
W: That was a clever name for the magazine then. Does it only focus on new restaurant openings?
M: They have other information too. Things like concerts, festivals and small shops. I think the restaurant information and reviews are the most exciting though. Each year they also sponsor a local event called Restaurant Week.
W: Restaurant Week? What's that?
M: Oh, it's wonderful. All the stylish restaurants participate. They have special set menus for the week, usually in spring, at a number of different price points. (14) Susan and I go to at least three different places during the event. It's a great opportunity to try some of the more expensive restaurants at a discounted price and try something new. That's how we found the Pearl, actually.
W: Wow.that's an event I would be interested in. When will it be happening this year?
M:(15)You are in luck. Restaurant Week starts in just a few days, the first Sunday in May. Let's make sure they set a double date during the event. Just let me know what type of food you would like to try.
W: Okay, I will.
