Is there something in the middle of October that makes it peak time and so they don't offer the free dining?

Probably the Halloween stuff, since that seems to be a decent draw.

The Food and Wine Festival is going on during that time as well, although it starts and ends during some of the date ranges offered for the free dining promotion.

That too, even though all the musicians they hire are on the "way downhill" side of their careers, the performers during those weeks may be the headlines, which implies the demand is at it's apex for the festival.

Ah, didn't even think of the musical acts, yup that probably contributes as well.

I definitely think it's a combination of both the F&W festival and the MNSSHP.

I don't so much think the musical acts contribute more than a little bump, but the acts are scheduled in relation to the expected load.

Last year we saw Jefferson Starship without Grace Slick. They were OK but really....missing the main ingredient. Imagine Aerosmith without Steven Tyler or the Stones without Mick or Van Halen without David Lee Roth. Yeah-something like that.

According to Joe Perry, Tyler isn't required for the band. :D

No, but I have heard "Black Hole Sun" covered by Paul Anka.
