Dining

The trick to eating well...for cheap...is to eat at the best restaurants for little money. It's never a deal to get lousy food cheaply...but to get the best food cheaply - now that's a deal.

Ski town dining cards offer the best of both worlds: world class dining and inexpensive prices. Dining cards typically offer 2-for-1 deals: two entrees for the price of one. All dining cards offer deals at both great restaurants and mediocre ones. To find the best restaurants, pick up a good guidebook (Explorer's Guide: Maine with its comprehensive "Fine Dining" section, is the best option) and then use the dining card at the finest culinary establishments for 50% off your dinner.

Valuable tip: when you are eating out, be sure to order water - it's tasty, it's good for you and best of all, it's FREE!
