No eat up downtown this year, but we have "Sip & Savor"

[coredumped]

For the first time in eight years, there will be no Eat Up Downtown in Jacksonville. But there will be a Sip & Savor.

Each August since 2007, downtown restaurants offered fixed price meals for more than a week during the hot and slow dog days of August.

Downtown Vision coordinated the event, signing up the restaurants and promoting it all.

Katherine Hardwick, marketing director for Downtown Vision, said that after eight years it was time for something new. So that group is lending its support to Sip & Savor Jax, a similar event sponsored by Visit Jacksonville.

The new event will be held next month, Sept. 14-27, and it's open to restaurants throughout Duval County. Otherwise, the idea is the same: Restaurants offering specials at fixed prices, $15, $25, $35, and $45.
