Micah June 11, 2012

Welcome back to Monday and welcome to the June 11th edition of The Morning Roundup. We have some absolutely fantastic deals to get your week started off the right way. Let’s get the ball rolling.

Must Buy: Normally we’re wary of all you drink/all you can eat deals here at Eat the District. Yes they’re inexpensive, but we don’t like to settle for the cheap deal just because it’s cheap. Today’s Capitol Deal for Bottomless Drinks and a dinner entree for $25. Now let’s be clear, you aren’t getting top of the line alcohol.

The Morning Roundup: 6/8/2012

One great option and then a couple of deals for the section of Washington society that actually likes things in Georgetown.

Must Buy: Scoutmob’s %50 off up to $20 to Ma-Ma’s Southern Cuisine appears to be a home run.  Serving up generous portions of Fried Chicken and sauteed fish along with delicious southern homestyle sides, this C-heights/Petworth eatery is very highly regarded for its comfortable ‘make yourself at home’ atmosphere and its cuisine.  If you find yourself over there, this family run restaurant should be one of your first stops.

Only two for you today, and only one has some legs, here goes!

Fifty-Fifty:  Scoutmob’s 50% off up to $10 at Paciugo Gelato & Caffe is only barely a 50/50 and only due to it’s location.  Located a block or so from the Clarendon metro, I am sympathetic to those who are less willing to make the trip.  But if you want in, this is a nice date deal.  Scoutmob is gonna get you two yummy Gelatos for the price of one and this new gelateria has got the flavor hook up.  The one that looks most interesting to me is the Pannacotta but they change every day to keep you intrigued.

I was hoping for some good must-buys today for my birthday, but unfortunately we’re stuck with a round of middling deals.  Here’s the roundup.

Fifty-Fifty: Today’s LivingSocial for a $77 three-course sushi meal for two at Fujimar is actually pretty tempting.  Fujimar’s mix of Latin and Asian cuisine makes for an exciting menu, and $77 for three courses and a round of cocktails is not a bad price.  At the end of the day, it’s a little too expensive for us to whole-heartedly endorse, but if you’ve got an occasion coming up and you’re looking for a nice night out, I say pick this deal up today.

Woke up to some lovely weather (this is June?) and some great deals. I’m really excited for some of these.

Must Buys: LivingSocial has a pair of deals that I’m a big fan of this morning. Both are event deals at their 918 F St home. The first is a beer tasting curated by local beer aficionado Greg Engert. $39 gets you a trip around the world and through time. You’ll learn (and drink) a lot. They also have some tasty appetizers on deck. The second event is just for me bro’s out there. A cooking class just for the guys.

Welcome back. I hope you had a fantastic weekend! Did you relax by the pool? Did you have a BBQ? I hope you had fun. We’re back with one deal this morning, but we like it a lot.

Must Buy: Scoutmob has a deal for you today to recently opened Columbia Heights eatery The Pinch (3548 14th St., NW). %50 off up to $12 will get you some tasty fare. The Pulled Duck Breast BBQ Sandwich sounds amazing, so you might want to try that out. Now don’t go on the weekend because this deal is only valid Sunday-Thursday. But you have to eat on those days to, so head over to Columbia Heights and enjoy something good.

Happy June everyone!  To celebrate the new month the deal sites are

Must Buy: $30 for $60 at Kinkeads is a Livingsocial deal you cannot pass up.  You likely have not eaten at Kinkeads.  If you have you probably do not need food deals in general because you are working with pretty deep pockets or your parents took you here when they visited you at GW.  For the normal folk who haven’t had the pleasure, this deal can help you land a half off meal and one of DC’s best seafood restaurants, run by a James Beard Award winning chef.

Happy last day of May everyone! It’s almost Friday, you’re almost here weekend. More deals please.

Must Buy: The H Street Corridor is a burgeoning food destination. It’s got countless great options to get you going, whether it’s a pre-bar meal or just a nice meal with a date or some friends. One of those options is the Belgian gastropub Granville Moore’s (1238 H St NE). Google Offers has got you covered with a $15 for $30 deal. Now the food here is a bit pricey, so this may not get you two full meals depending on when you go.

Good morning. Hopefully the rain holds off today and the sun rears its head today. We got a few deals for you, one that’s extra sweet. To the deals!

Must Buy: I’m a big believer in pie. I think it’s one of the better desserts. I’ll be blasphemous and say that I prefer pie to most chocolate desserts (Evan is somewhere yelling and acting incredulous). So today’s Scoutmob to Pie Sisters (3423 M St., NW) is an easy must buy. With a max $5 discount you can get two of their signature “cuppies” or personal sized pies.

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend!  Here’s a couple deals to kick off your summer.

Must Buy/Avoid:  I know this seems like what our Fifty-Fifty designation is for, but LivingSocial’s Food Trucks deal is a bit different: some of you should absolutely make sure you buy it, and others should definitely stay away.  If you work near a food truck-populated area and have a coworker to split this deal with, then this is a no-brainer.  Steve recently gave a big thumbs up to Chupacabra, and this deal will easily get you lunch for two there or at the Peanut Butter Jelly Time Truck.
