The Morning Roundup 04/05/2012

Evan April 5, 2012

Good morning!  Here’s today’s Morning Roundup:

This deal is too good to pass up.

 

Must Buy: This deal actually went live yesterday afternoon (and we tweeted it over at @eatthedistrict), but Google Offers’ $5 for $10 at Starbucks deal is too much of a no-brainer not to include. Plus, for every deal purchased Starbucks donates $3 to the Create Jobs for USA fund, so you can pretend you’re buying this for charity and not just because you’re mildly addicted to their grande nonfat double shot caramel macchiato.

Food Trucks

Food Truck 101: An Introduction

Steve April 4, 2012

Food Trucks are like people. Some folks love them, some folks don’t. They come in all sizes and shapes and colors. Some smell bad. Some smell unbelievable. Some are so attractive that when they go by, they slow down traffic, while some food trucks fly under the radar, seemingly uncaring about trendy fashion and flashy gimmicks, only to shock us with the goodness that is inside. But perhaps the most important similarity between food trucks and people is that, in the DMV anyways, their population seems to be growing at an alarming rate.

Welcome to The Morning Roundup

Micah April 4, 2012

Good morning readers. Welcome to our first ever morning roundup. Evan explained it to you yesterday in his introductory post, but I’ll repeat for those of you that didn’t read it (shame on you!) or need a refresher. Every morning we’re going to attempt to make sense of the all the daily deals that flood your inbox. The notable deals (we won’t flood you with every single food deal on offer) will be labelled with Must-Buy, Fifty-Fifty, and Avoid. The sites we’ll focus on (because we have to draw the line somewhere) are: LivingSocial, Groupon, Scoutmob, Google Offers, and The Capitol Deal.

A Sincere Thank You

Micah April 3, 2012

At the end of our first day we wanted to offer a sincere thanks to all of you. The overwhelming amount of support we received today was truly humbling. It makes what we’re doing worth it. Someone that was recognized this morning that deserves another special thanks is Jordan Sheckman, who brought our vision to life. We have a fantastic home for this site and it’s only going to continue to grow.

We’re out celebrating at La Forchetta (more on that at a later date), but we couldn’t end our first day without giving thanks.

What We’re Offering

Evan April 3, 2012

Chai everybody! (Just kidding!) I’m Evan, and I’ll be working with Micah and our bloggers to bring you all the information we can about great food at great prices. Hopefully you’ve read Micah’s first post and have an idea what we’re about here at Eat the District. I’m here to tell you a little bit more about the type of posts you can expect to find.

First off, every morning we’re going to bring you The Morning Roundup, a quick survey of all the internet deals offered on websites like Groupon, LivingSocial, and Scoutmob.

And We’re Back (Sort Of)!

Micah April 3, 2012

Welcome to the newly redesigned Eat the District…..

Pause for effect.

And that’s it. That’s what you get. Over two months of planning and thought and countless drafts and this is the best I could come up (this current iteration came to me while sleepwalking through a game of squash with Evan). No witty opener, no food pun, just welcome. This is going to be rough, but I promise we’ll get somewhere. Someday.

Many of you aren’t familiar with Eat the District so the impact of this redesign and relaunch is lost on you.
