Your Next Favorite Meal + A Chance To Win $100 #TasteOfGroupon

This post brought to you by Groupon. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Penelope’s Oasis.

Our family recently had one of the best, adventure filled summers, because of great deals we found on Groupon. Now that the weather is turning cooler, we may venture outdoors less for play, but we still need to eat, and we love to eat well. With the holidays coming up, getting together with friends and family to go out and eat together is especially wonderful, so of course I’m keeping a close eye on great deals at the best eateries.

One of the great things about living in New York is the fantastic food, from all around the world. There are wonderful Dominican restaurants, Greek, Italian, Chinese, Indian, Japanese…the list goes on and on. Many are just a hop, skip and a jump away from our home, and many are offering incredible deals on Groupon. Today we enjoyed our newest family favorite, Cajun at Bourbon Street Café, where po’ boy sandwiches, Big Easy brunches, and spicy blackened chicken salads amply satiated our appetites.

I happen to love Cajun cuisine after a memorable trip to New Orleans years back, so I brought my family to Bourbon Street Café where we enjoyed a half off Groupon for a wonderful brunch, several pics of which I shared with my instagram friends:

That the service was great and the atmosphere, complete with beads and New Orleans decor, was so festive just enhanced our fun time!

  • We haven’t used Groupon yet to eat out, and I don’t know why we haven’t! It would be a great way to try out new places in our area at a good price, and I love that they are donating to Feeding America too.

  • Wow, great partnership- Groupon and Feeding America! It’s always tough to eat in a swanky place and not finish your meal when you know some people don’t have any food. Glad we can still help others in some way.

  • I love Groupon. I’ve gotten lots of great deal over the last few years from them.

  • I’m sad I did not see this offer sooner. We love using deal sites like Groupon to try new places in our community and what better time than one that benefits others too.
