The Morning Roundup 7/16/2012

Micah July 16, 2012

Happy Monday. You made it through the weekend and are with us now. We appreciate that. In honor of you, we have some great deals today:

Must Buy: In Tenleytown we don’t have a lot of dining options. So when of our go-tos has a deal, we take notice. The Capitol Deal’s $7 for $15 to Z-Burger (multiple locations) is going to a big seller up our way. I really like their food. The burgers are good, the hot dogs are better, and whoa those shakes. If I’m getting a shake, I’m getting a chocolate peanut butter malted.

It’s Friday the 13th, which might be why today’s deals aren’t great. Here’s what we got.

Fifty-fifty: Scoutmob’s deal for today is up to $12 off at El Gavilan. The good: El Gavilan gets great reviews and seems to be a stellar Salvadoran place. The bad: it’s all the way up in Silver Spring, and parts of the menu seem to be quite expensive, meaning $12 may not get you far.  Definite 50-50.

Avoid: LivingSocial’s deal for $25 for $50 at Againn Gastropub just isn’t enough.

Did you survive the sudden rainstorm last night? I hope you did. I hope you weren’t outside eating a lovely meal when it hit. If you were, let’s hope these deals make you feel better.

Must Buy: I really like Indian food, and as I’ve complained here before sometimes you get deals to Indian restaurants that just aren’t worth it. You want to like them, but Indian is often just too pricey. So that’s why The Capitol Deal’s deal to Rasoi Indian Kitchen (1810 K St., NW) is awesome.

The Morning Roundup 7/09/2012

Micah July 9, 2012

Welcome back Monday. I know last week we were a little slow in the post-4th heat. But the weather has cooled down! The worst may be very well behind, and we’re back in action. Hopefully the deals have returned from their time off as well. Let’s take a look:

Must Buy: One of DC’s most recent food fads was the burger craze. Many places sprung up seemingly overnight. One of these that joined the fray was brgr:shack (4215 Fairfax Dr., Arlington) is one such place. Not to be confused with BGR or Shake Shack, today’s Google Offer is $3.50 for $7 toward their premium burgers.

The Morning Roundup: 7/3/2012

Fifty-Fifty: $15 for $30 to Yves Bistro in Alexandria from LivingSocial is a classic lunch fifty-fifty.  While going in the evening will run you between $20 and $30 per entree, during lunch almost all of their menu items are under $10.  But the lunch menu is build with a good number of options from burgers and sandwiches to pastas and pizzas.  Again, a great lunch deal, when night begins to fall… steer clear.

Looks to me that all the other deal sites have decided to take the 3rd for the 4th.  I’ll be keeping my eyes open to see if anything pops up, but as it stands, its just the one.

Happy Monday everyone. I hope that you survived the storm, and have power. The men of Eat the District are powerless, but that doesn’t stop the deals.

Must Buy: There are a lot of places that bill themselves as Modern Asian or Asian Fusion and a lot can’t pull it off. Many are pretty good and some are very good. Today’s Scoutmob falls somewhere in between pretty and very good. 50% off to Zabb Modern Asian (1836 18th St., NW) offers you up to $20. This will get you a really good amount of food for a low price.

Congratulations! You’re almost there. It’s almost 5pm on Friday, and you’ll be able to escape the office and head home. Hopefully you won’t melt today, as it looks to be another scorcher. To the deals!

Must Buy: Today’s Scoutmob is a little confusing. 50% off to Gesté Wine and Food (4801 Edgemoor Ln, Bethesda) implies you can get wine with your deal. You can’t. With a max discount of up to $10 you can get a lot of really tasty food, but no alcohol. Despite this lack of wine, this deal is a must buy.

Everyone! It’s almost the weekend! Hurray. Now onto the deals before it gets too hot out.

Must Buy: French restaurants in DC often tend to be really expensive (see any of Michel Richard’s restaurants), or inexpensive and mediocre. Bistro la Bonne (1340 U St. NW) is neither. It’s inexpensive and awesome. That’s why this $20 for $40 is amazing. I recently was there for a birthday brunch and you’re going to eat well with this deal. Bloody Marys, Mimosas, and Bellinis ran $3/each.

Today’s a double whammy: it’s too hot out AND there are no great deals.

Fifty-Fifty: Today’s Scoutmob deal at Bungalow Sports Grill is a typical sports bar deal: if you’re already here, take advantage and get some food. If not, don’t go out of your way to eat here. Good thing it’s a Scoutmob!

Avoid: What’s riskier than eating at a sports bar? Eating at a nightclub. Stay away from today’s LivingSocial deal at The Park at 14, and spend your money on better food elsewhere

Good morning and happy Wednesday. It’s going to be a scorcher out there, so be careful and make sure you’re staying hydrated.

Must Buy: Cheap pizza is cheap pizza is cheap pizza. A lot of it’s the same and mostly it’s not bad to good. But when you can get two slices, a salad, and a soda for $5 you can’t pass it up. Groupon has just that deal today to Washington Deli Pizza and Catering (5830 Georgia Ave. NW). Hurry on up to Petworth and chow down.

Fifty-Fifty/Avoid: File this one under deals I really wanted to like, but ultimately just couldn’t convince myself that it was worth it.
