With 45 restaurants participating in this year's Winter Restaurant Week promotion, there are more options than days in the week to try them.

So the chance to get a lot of different little tastes from a variety of the menus that will be presented is the best way to figure out a good plan of attack.

Sneak Peek to Winter Restaurant Week, presented by Buckeye Vodka, will offer just that very opportunity.

Tickets are $20.19 in advance for the Jan. 16 event and can be purchased online.

The ticket price goes up to $25 the day of the event.

"It’s fun trying new places and trying different menus, and a lot of the restaurants create a new unique menu just for Winter Restaurant Week," said Amy Zahora, executive director of the Miami Valley Restaurant Association (MVRA). "(Winter Restaurant Week) helps increase business at normally a slower time for the restaurants. The last week in January is generally slower and this gives them a nice boost through the week as well."

Winter Restaurant Week takes place Jan. 20-27.
