The Morning Roundup 04/20/2012

Micah April 20, 2012

Happy Friday everyone. I wanted to take a quick second before I get to the deals to go on a quick tangent. I usually don’t participate in mourning celebrities. There’s always a million Facebook posts/tweets about Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, etc. but for the most part I never feel particularly moved by any of these tragic passings. Yesterday, however, was different. Mark Lavon Helm died at the age of 71. Better known as Levon, he was the drummer/singer for The Band. His death truly saddened me.

The Morning Roundup 04/19/2012

After a brief hiatus, I’m back on The Morning Roundup (I was out West, you’ll hear more about that later). And as if somehow the gods of the deal knew I was returning today, we’ve got some good ones for you:

Must Buy: Capitol Deal’s $20 for $40 at The Cajun Experience features so many added perks it’s astounding. In addition to the money, it’s available for Sunday’s bottomless mimosa brunch AND if you go between Monday-Wednesday you get 50% off a bottle of wine.

The Morning Roundup 04/11/2012

Micah April 11, 2012

After a couple of days of lackluster food deals we’re back with the goods. Finally my inbox had something other than spa treatments and facial peels. Let’s see what we got:

Must Buy: $25 for $50 at Sou’wester courtesy of LivingSocial, sign me up instantly. Sou’wester is one of the better restaurants you’ll see on a deal site. Yearly ranked as one of the best restaurants in the city, it certainly lives up to expectations. I was slightly disappointed to see that this deal wasn’t available for Brunch (one of Sou’wester’s highlights), but nonetheless don’t hesitate to buy this one.

The Morning Roundup 04/07/2012

Happy Saturday everyone. What you thought we wouldn’t hit you with the roundup on the weekend? Well here we are and we got deals for you. The weekend morning roundups may skew toward early afternoon roundups, but we’ll be bringing the freshest deals your way every weekend morning.

Must Buy/Fifty-Fifty: Groupon’s offering a $49 meal for two to The Wild Orchid Cafe. Four courses for $49. Now why isn’t this solely a must buy? The only reason is because it’s not the district (which is the point of this blog).

The Morning Roundup Good Friday/Passover Edition

Micah April 6, 2012

Good morning everyone. I hope you had fantastic opening day. I feasted on some delicious barbecue and watched the Reds cruise to victory so it was quite a day.

Let’s get to the deals.

Must Buy: Scoutmob’s got the deal of the day. 50% off at LeoNora Bakery in Clarendon may not be the most money you can save today, but the quality likely can’t be beat. Maybe it’s just me gearing up for Passover, but really good freshly baked baguettes are always a treat.  LeoNora’s signature baguette is infused with bacon and gruyere, which is an unbeatable combo.

The Morning Roundup 04/05/2012

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.

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.
