Malerie — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 16:48:49 +0000

Yet another group coupon provider has entered the fray; good for us all if you ask me. We’ll see if Eversave.com can keep up with Groupon, Living Social and the like – but today’s deal (good through Jan. 12, 2012) is good enough to POST HERE.

Paying only $15 for $30 worth of food is a good deal in anyone’s book, sweetened even more by the fact that it’s for a brand new restaurant in town; Tappo on Bank Street. Enjoy and let me know how you like it.
