The Morning Roundup 5/14/2012

Micah May 14, 2012

Welcome back to the The Morning Roundup. Happy Monday all, I hope you’re staying dry out there. The weather’s looking gross today and tomorrow, so hopefully we’ll have some deals to warm you up.

Must Buy: Scoutmob has a good deal in Takoma Park today. Middle Eastern Cuisine and Market may not have the best name for a restaurant (or even close to the best name), but the food is good and relatively inexpensive for Middle Eastern food. You’re not getting a huge discount here, but the food is worth it.

Welcome to Friday. We finally made it! The weekend is upon. We got a few deals for you worth noting. If you haven’t bought your ticket for Pasties and Popcorn, do it now.

Must Buy: Scoutmob has a pretty good looking deal over at Blue Banana Sports and Rock Bar. Not a huge discount ($10), but nothing is going to be terribly expensive and the Petworth spot has a lot to offer. As always, it’s not available during happy hour. Head over to Petworth and check it out!

Fifty-Fifty: The deal is only fifty-fifty if you don’t own a grill.

The Morning Roundup: 5/10/2012

Morning!  Get excited.  We have a couple of really strong deals for you today folks.

Must Buy: 50% off 876 Cafe in Van Ness seems to be a homerun.  I am not super familiar with Jamaican food but rumor has it that this spot, located right at the Van Ness UDC metro, does it right.  They have a nice sized menu full of mouth watering items like jerked chicken and short ribs.  And with 50% off up to $30, you are going to be able to try several different dishes, especially if you come during lunch when they have a discounted menu.

Happy hump day everyone! Hope you want deals because we got some for you.

Special Must Buy: Our friends over at Scoutmob have a pretty good non-food related deal that we wanted to share with you. This comes from their new Hand-picked line of deals. What they got for you is $25 for two tickets to their Pasties and Popcorn event. The event is down on H St. NE (my new favorite neighborhood) at the Atlas Performing Arts Center. It’s a burlesque show that features food from Stella’s Popkern (recently discussed here).

The Morning Roundup 5/7/2012

We’re back from a lovely weekend and there are deals to be had. I’m hoping that this will be the week May turns the corner from pretty good deals to great deals. On to the Roundup!

Must Buy: We’ve shunned a few brunch deals in the past, which as a lover of brunch has made me sad. LivingSocial finally delivers the goods this morning with a fantastic $30 for $60 to Policy. This deal is good for two entrees, a seasonal bread basket, and bottomless Mimosas OR bottomless Bloody Marys. The drinks normally cost $18/each so basically this deal gets you brunch and free unlimited drinks.

FRIDAY!  And to celebrate, Livingsocial has a fantastic deal for you.

Must-buy:  Livingsocial’s $15 for $30 at H Street’s Sticky Rice is as close to a no-brainer as they come.  This popular spot serves up delicious Asian fusion food, from innovative sushi rolls to a variety of noodle dishes, none of which disappoint.  Even better, the portion sizes are huge:  two appetizers and one entree are easily enough food for two people, making the $30 easily enough for you and a friend.  Don’t miss this one.

Only one food deal today, as most websites have massage deals and The Capitol Deal website may be down.  But Today’s deal looks to be a good one.

Must Buy: Today Scoutmob is offering half off at Zabb Modern Asian with a twenty dollar max discount.  Any time Scoutmob puts up a sushi restaurant I am tempted to give it a go.  There is nothing quite so wonderful as $40 of sushi for only $20.  This Dupont restaurant is mostly known as an overflow happy hour hotspot from Mexican pre-game party factory Lauriol Plaza.

The Morning Roundup 5/1/2012

A limited selection of some okay deals here on May 1st.  Though all of these would be great if you lived in Southern Maryland.  Maybe it will take a bit for the month to ramp up.  Fingers Crossed.

Fifty-Fifty: I will definitely be getting this deal for %50 off of Tanad Thai up to $20 in Tenleytown.  This is because I live in Tenleytown.  For the rest if you, its standard scoutmob.  Get it if you are nearby or love Thai.  This new restaurant’s previous iteration, 4912 Thai was something of a Thai food staple for those who frequent the no mans land between Tenleytown and Friendship Heights.

It’s time to say goodbye and good riddance to this week, which has been pretty terrible for deals.  Today is no exception, with nothing particularly great coming your way. Here’s hoping next week shapes up a little bit better.

[UPDATE] Must Buy: Cafe Sazon in Arlington dropped a last minute fantastic deal on us. Groupon has three deals to pick from but we’re recommending the $33 for a dinner for 4. For $8.25 you get an entree, a dessert, and a drink. WHAT?!? The food must have to be terrible. Not so.

Happy Thursday y’all. The weather outside is not looking so hot today. Similary, the deals aren’t looking so hot. Like the nice weather, the good deals will come again. I promise.

Must Buy UPDATE: Groupon came out with a new deal late in the game and it’s a winner: $20 for $40 to Lebanese Taverna. I love Lebanese food and although it’s a bit pricey here, the quality is good and you’ll easily be able to get two entrees with this deal. And given the quality of this week’s deal, this one is a certainly a must buy.
