We tightened our purse strings and loosened our belts on the hunt for hearty meals at a nice price. From $5 steals to $15 meals, we found great values at neighborhood spots and downtown destinations alike. Just because the economy may be in the dumps doesn't mean your taste buds need to follow suit. Eat well without ever fearing the words, "Check, please."

Edited by Beth Stallings; by Chuck Bowen, Jennifer Bowen, Katie Dragga, Christina Ipavec, Jason Lloyd, Brittany Moffat, Andy Netzel, Kim Schneider, Colleen Smitek, Beth Stallings, Erick Trickey, Michelle Venorsky and Jim Vickers
It happens to the best of us — that after-work happy hour drink stretches into a happy evening far surpassing the $1 draft and $5 cocktail deals. But just like everything in life, happy hour now also comes full circle in the form of late-night specials during the final hours before last call.

| - Cheap Eats: Monster Burgers
Edited by Beth Stallings; by Chuck Bowen, Jennifer Bowen, Katie Dragga, Christina Ipavec, Jason Lloyd, Brittany Moffat, Andy Netzel, Kim Schneider, Colleen Smitek, Beth Stallings, Erick Trickey, Michelle Venorsky and Jim Vickers
Beef between two slices of bread — on every menu, the hamburger has the potential to be boring and bland or exciting and tasty. No two are created equal, and these three are in a category all their own. And all are less than $10 (side included — cha-ching!).

Edited by Beth Stallings; by Chuck Bowen, Jennifer Bowen, Katie Dragga, Christina Ipavec, Jason Lloyd, Brittany Moffat, Andy Netzel, Kim Schneider, Colleen Smitek, Beth Stallings, Erick Trickey, Michelle Venorsky and Jim Vickers
A few multicourse prix fixe deals are really steals under the guise of a double-digit dinner. We did the math (regular prices are in parentheses). Just order, taste and enjoy.
| - The Waters Way
Jeannie Roberts
We watched last March as Cleveland State made its first trip to the NCAA basketball tournament since Kevin Mackey and ‘Mouse’ McFadden in 1986. We cheered as the Vikings completed an impossible first-round upset of Wake Forest. But unless you were really paying attention, you missed how coach Gary Waters has transformed the once woeful CSU basketball program and the young men who play for him.
