How is everyone doing? It’s September, you’re back at work after a (hopefully) nice and relaxing weekend. We get it you’re not doing well. You’re nursing a weekend long hangover and you’re cursing the fact that you’re back at work. We understand where you’re coming from. We’re right there with you. We wish we had better deals to brighten your day, but alas we don’t.
Fifty-Fifty: Today’s Scoutmob to Sixth Engine (438 Massachusetts Ave., NW) is one of the classic good restaurant, so-so bargain. Max discount of $15 will get you two burgers at dinner, but as you dip into the entrees, you’re looking at very little savings. Still there’s no pressure to buy and the food is good, so if you’re in NoMa looking for a place to eat, this one is definitely worth it. Avoid: When I saw the headline to today’s deal from The Capitol Deal, I was excited. $16 for two burgers and a pitcher of beer? Whoa that’s awesome! But wait just a minute there. The “restaurant” in question? McFadden’s. When you’ve been named DC’s #1 douchiest bar, and you’re proud of it, we like to think there’s a problem. So if you love McFadden’s, you’re going to love this deal. But if you’d rather do a lot of unpleasant things rather than go to McFadden’s, then steer clear.
Also stay tuned this week, we have a special announcement upcoming.
