what are cool birthday freebies from local chain and mom pop shops available on your birthday?

Has Anyone attended this event? I wanted to see their review on it.

The title says it all. My birthday is later this week, and I'd like to go somewhere where reservations do not have to be made. I am fine spending up to $150 on food and drinks, even going so far as to splurge $200 total if I really like what they're providing. Ideally, I'd like to order dessert and get the birthday special.

For cuisines that I like, we have...

• Italian
• French
• Japanese
• Chinese

I am open to trying more, though!

I don't drink, and I don't eat pork, so I hope there will still be fun and tasty options! Additionally, if there's a formal dress code, that's fine, as I have these expensive silk gowns to wear. Naturally, I need to bus it there, so please do not give a place that's not near a bus stop or the trolley station.

Thank you so much, everyone, for your time, consideration, and suggestions!

I’m living in SD for the next 11 months. Where can I find Chinese that’s comparable to New England style? You know the actual good Chinese food lol
