Dining out on the cheap in the Hudson Valley

Hanlon's Neighborhood Steakhouse in Mahopac

The economic crisis goes global with the International Tour at Hanlon's, a Putnam mainstay. Each week, the four-course price-fixed menu features food from a different region, from France to Italy to Spain.

Price: $25 per person.

What it includes: A salad, choice of two appetizers, three entrees (steak au poivre was last week's highlight) and your pick from the regular menu dessert cart.

Available: 4-10 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday.
