Wandering around downtown and looking for great-tasting and highly-affordable lunch? Look no further than Nathan Phillips Square for Scotiabank Tasty Thursdays, which kicks off this afternoon. From the city website:

"Every Thursday from July 13 to August 24, 11 am to 2 pm, a variety of prime Toronto restaurants will be featuring select menu items for five dollars each or less. In addition to the delicious international cuisine, which includes Pad Thai, empanadas, tandoori chicken, jerk chicken and fresh mango salad, each week there will be a free noon hour concert, providing the perfect lunch hour escape."

The lineup of performers is impressive, and the featured restaurants include popular eateries like Bombay Bhel, Las Brisas, and The Real Jerk. Like Fresh Wednesdays, there will be giveaways courtesy of Toronto Water and a $1000 grand prize contest courtesy of Scotiabank.

Cheap food, good music, and free stuff. Can't go wrong.
