Several restaurants have offered a 10% discount on dining to The Clark Event 2011 participants. You must have a confirmed reservation by August 1st (my suggestion, make your dining reservations when you book your hotel - others will)  as seating in all of the participating restaurants is somewhat limited. Walk-ins to The Depot, The Shelburne or 42nd Street will not recieve the discount. When calling for your reservation, mention The Clark Event 2011 so that a notation can be made.
