Blue Plate Specials at the 5 Spot
Every Sunday through Thursday

Some of you may remember years ago (and we do mean 18 years thereabouts) at the 5 Spot when we were able to offer a true 5 Spot Special for a mere five spot ($5). Well, that was during the recession of 1990, and here we are in the midst of a more twenty-first-century malaise. The 5 Spot is heeding the call with the introduction of Blue Plate Specials on Sunday through Thursday nights.

We can’t quite hit the $5 mark in 2009, but never say never as this time around we’re pricing these items daily according to the most recent close of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. If the Dow closes at 8650, then your "square meal" will only cost you $8.65; if it closes at 7875, then you win your meal for a mere $7.87.

Perfect!

Your meal price is adjusted daily to the unease or optimism of the moment.

Here’s how it works:

The daily meal selection is according to the schedule listed below. We offer the Blue Plates on Sunday-Thursday nights only. We begin blue plate service at 5pm and only are prepping so many a day, so come in early. Substitutions won't be happening. We’re not buying a bunch of blue plates, so no giving us grief on that account. We won't be taking reservations to hold these items 'til you arrive. When they're gone, they're gone.
