Planning for the future -- Specials Agent to the rescue

So I found this great website (okay, I didn't find it so much as it came to me in another email BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT) called Specials Agent which basically lists all the stuff that's discounted at bars and restaurants around town. GREAT resource!

I discovered that Betty's Blue Star Lounge (1600 W. Grand -- open til 4am) has $2 Makers/$2 Red Stripe/$2 Heineys every Tuesday, $2 well cocktails/$2 PBR every Wednesday and $3 Skyy cocktails every Sunday and Thursday. Ka-Khing, right?

That's only to be topped by Cleos (1935 W. Chicago) offering $0.10 wings every Monday, $5 Italian beef w/fries every Wednesday, $4 12-inch pizzas every Thursday, and FREE All you can eat buffet Saturday nights from 11pm-1am!! I have 1/2 a mind to call to see if that's a typo because it seems so ridiculous and it makes me really skeptical about what they're giving away for free. Then again, do you really care about what you put in your drunk face on a Saturday night? Fuck no! Long as it doesn't need a doctor's note to get rid of.

There were some other places that were close by, but none within my jurisdiction. I did find out that Mr. Brown's Lounge, the hot new Jamaican joint in the UV, is closed Mondays. Good to know. Also, there's a new snack shop (no, not the name of a strip club, thank you very much) called Nuts 2 U (again, no) that specializes in Eastern European treats as well as dried fruits and other assorted goodies to eat. ;-)

Thanks Specials Agent. I'll be sure to check out these spots next month when my bank account re-ups.
