You may or may not have forgiven the International House of Pancakes for their IHOB shenanigans , but 60 cent pancakes just might be a start down the road to redemption. Today only you can get a stack of fluffy, buttery goodness for only 60 cents! That's less than a dollar! The offer is good until 7pm this evening, so be sure to wrangle up your family/friends/bae and slide on down to your local pancake palace. Be sure to do this dance while you wait in the line for pancakes.

For years I visited the H Street Corridor frequently. It was in proximity to my job, was fairly accessible via the bus, and was a great place for brunch or a drink with friends. One of my commonly visited places was Smith Commons. The food is great, the bartenders are top notch, and the location is A1. Today I saw that they have a great deal for dinner for two that costs only $28 on Groupon ! The decor is very modern and sleek, and it just might be a great spot for your next date night with the boo or even girls night out! Don't miss out on the opportunity to dine where our beloved President Obama has eaten!

The hilarious story of the plight of two African American domestics, Douglas Turner Ward's  Happy Endings  comes to the Anacostia Playhouse in Washington, D.C. In the play, sisters Ellie and Vi's white employers' divorce threatens to cut off the household graft -- which has brought a solid amount of luxury to their lives. Will they be able to endure a "riches to rags" scenario? Tickets for the Saturday, August 11th 8PM show are still available for $17.50 (not including service fees) on Goldstar ! I hope you take advantage of this awesome deal! 

Catch this cool deal on Groupon for a rum, whiskey, or gin tasting and tour of a micro-distillery for 2 or 4 people. Prices start at $15.50 and even includes souvenir low-ball glasses!  I imagine this experience would make an awesome date night outing or a gift for someone special in your life.  I used to live in Southern MD, so a trip to Waldorf never seemed very far for me. Even still - a rum distillery right in your backyard just might be worth the trek despite the (usually) terrible traffic into St. Mary's County.  Blue Dyer Distilling uses the same traditional techniques that have been in the owner's family for over 100 years. Each bottle of micro-distilled rum is made by hand, ensuring every sip is smooth and bold. Though new to the Maryland spirits scene, opening its doors in July of 2016, Blue Dyer has already started racking up awards. In 2017 it was honored with the silver medal at the American Distilling Institute's Annual Judging of Craft Spirits.

Can you believe I found a Groupon deal for the coolest experience? For only $8, two people can walk amongst hundreds of brilliant butterflies from all over the world! The exhibit is called Wings of Fancy, and visitors can learn all about butterflies, their amazing metamorphosis, and the role they play in a thriving ecosystem. The voucher covers admission between July 16-August 31. The exhibit opens on July 1st, but the voucher isn't valid until the 16th. There's also a $16 option good for entry for four! This is an awesome deal considering one adult admission to the Butterfly Pavilion at the National Museum of Natural History costs $7.50. Have a similar experience via Groupon and save a few dollars in the process! Of course, be sure to do your research on Brookside Gardens and read reviews when possible!

Image from Olney Winery Last summer, I had the opportunity to try out the deliciously sweet wines of Olney Winery at the North Beach Wine Festival in North Beach, MD. I always enjoy a fruity red wine, and I was so happy with their great selection! To my surprise, while checking Groupon today I spotted their amazing wine tasting deal for $22. It includes wine tastings for two, two stemless glasses, and $10 toward a purchase at the winery. I think I might take advantage of this awesome deal before the sale ends! I'm sure it will be another adventure in the making!
