Go vote, then reap the rewards

POSTED: Tuesday, November 6, 2012, 12:36 PM

Look, we're not here to browbeat you into voting. But seriously: just go vote.

If you need a little more motivation, lots of Philly businesses are happy to provide you with some. Discounts and freebies abound for anyone willing and able to flash a sticker or utter the magic passphrase, "I voted!" (Sadly, we never get stickers at our polling place, but we love the creative solution to that problem that one pal of Meal Ticket came up with.)

Here are just a few deals to get you started:

Pumpkin (1713 South St.), Mugshots (1925 Fairmount Ave., and 2831 W. Girard Ave.), and Milk and Honey Market (4435 Baltimore Ave.) are all offering free cups of coffee to anyone who's voted already.

Ultimo (22nd and Catharine Sts., and 15th and Mifflin Sts.) will give voters 20% off any drink today.

Show your sticker at Bistro St. Tropez (2400 Market St.) and they'll throw in a free apple turnover if you order a coffee or tea, or a free bag of housemade potato chips if you order lunch.

Hot Diggity (630 South St.) is also giving 20% off your entire order today to anyone who shows them a sticker.

On another note, while there are too many bars to mention running specials as everyone gathers to watch results pour in, we'd like to call your attention to one:

Johnny Brenda's (1201 Frankford Ave.) is donating 100% of sales of Sly Fox brews on tap to Sandy relief. Not the profit, but the entire purchase price. From 4 to 6 p.m., drafts are $1 off, but the Sly Fox donation deal lasts all Election Night long.
