A Change of Eatery

Ok….Who else is as excited about Groupon as I am?

Like really, really excited.

What is it?  The site offers a “daily deal”, described as “a ridiculously huge coupon each day, on the best things to eat, see, do and buy in your city.” Straightforward enough.

Each day, the website features something to eat/see/do/buy at a fantastic price. But here’s the catch- you can only get the deal if enough people show interest in it & opt in. If not enough people sign up, then the deal is cancelled for the day. So invite your friends!

I’ve been waiting (and hoping) for Groupon to hit Harford for a long time, and, since it launched a few weeks ago, some amazing deals have rolled into my email inbox. Prior to the Hartford Groupon debut, I’d been envious of friends in big cities who boast about the killer deals they’ve found at local restaurants, spas, bars & more.

Ahem…like my dear Kate in Chicago who got an amazing Groupon discount on a chocolate tasting tour around the city.

Wondering if Hartford can match that.

However, so far I’ve seen deals at Plan B in Glastonbury, Bellini’s in South Windsor, New Britain Museum of Art and lots of other fantastic places. Last week, my roommate and I opted to buy all-day climbing passes with gear & lessons at the Stone Age Rock Gym in Manchester…all for $25 (which is like 60% off). Nice!
