LA INC., American Express and the LA restaurant community have announced that dineLA Restaurant Week will return to Los Angeles in 2009. Taking place Jan. 25-30 and Feb. 1-6, 2009, dineLA Restaurant Week is the largest countywide food event of the year that allows guests to sample many different types of cuisine, dining neighborhoods and restaurants.

Over the two consecutive weeks, residents and visitors have the opportunity to indulge in specially priced three-course menus from a variety of LA's best restaurants. During its inaugural dineLA Restaurant Week in 2008, more than 100,000 consumers dined out at 143 participating restaurants.

dineLA is a dynamic marketing initiative between LA INC., American Express and the LA restaurant community to promote the scale and variety of LA restaurant and food experiences to locals and visitors.
