Arlington Restaurant Week is in full swing with deals at more than 70 participating local restaurants.

The yearly promotion by the Arlington Chamber of Commerce brings discounts and specials to spots throughout the county, ranging from takeout and fast-casual bites to fine dining. It runs through next Monday, Oct. 19.

“Whether you’re picking up your favorite takeout, grabbing breakfast on the go, stopping in for a lunch special, or sitting down for a three-course meal, there’s something for everyone,” the Chamber said in an announcement.

Here are some highlights.
