I DO make an effort to get out to lunch at as many restaurants as my schedule permits (some years quite a few, others at most 1) during RW, even though I agree with much of what gleff has said. Partly it's curiosity just to see what a particular spot is doing for RW. Here in NYC, there are a number of restaurants that dumb down their menus and a couple where service is downright contemptuous, but then there are several that offer an absolutely wonderful experience at half the price you'd normally pay for very similar food.
