City Dining Cards offer discounts and a little charity
City Dining Cards aren't super useful for a game of Solitaire, but they might save you some money, and a portion of the proceeds benefit the Food Trust.
City Dining Cards offer discounts and a little charity
If you find yourself needing a little extra incentive to get out and try some new places, City Dining Cards are only too happy to oblige. In an update of the fundraising coupon book concept, you can instruct your dining companion to pick a card, any card, and go wherever fate leads you. Each deck includes 50 discount cards, each offering a $10 discount off a purchase of $30 or more at a different restaurant or pub—plus 2 bonus cards from Rybread and Mugshots Café, each redeemable for a free cup of coffee.
Besides the discount and the random-suggestion aspect, 5% of your $20 purchase price goes to The Food Trust. And unlike some fundraising discount programs we’ve seen in the past, the list of participating restaurants ensures that you’ll actually want to use the cards. On the (very long) list, you’ll find Bar Ferdinand, Cantina and La Calaca Feliz, Kennett, Pumpkin, Catahoula, Honey’s, PYT, Yard’s Brewing, and even North Bowl. (A sample card we received featured the ill-fated Odd Fellows Café, but the website promises that you can trade in any card if a business goes under before expiry.)
Decks can be purchased online or at a number of retail locations around town, including Mugshots, Pinot Boutique, the Quick Fixx, and Franklin Square Boutique.
