Deals of the Day

A couple good deals found today for the NY area (can we start using "groupon" as a generic yet, like xerox and kleenex?)

All found via Yip It:

- Google Offers (yes, this is a thing now) is hawking $10 at Murray's Bagels for $5. This is only good at the Chelsea location, but it doesn't expire until February 19, 2012. And man are Murray's bagels goood (and kind of expensive with cream cheese and lox), so this one is worth it.

- Scout Mob will send you a coupon code for 50% off the Williamsburg restaurant The Lodge. Normally I only get these deals when I've heard of the place before, but the photo reminds me of Kayak's in St. Louis. It seems like it'd be place that has good brunch. Oh, and did I mention the Scout Mob deals are always free? As in, you don't have to pay anything to get a 50% off coupon, which you may or may not (but should!) use. Another perk: Scout Mob will send you the deal either via e-mail or text (even if you have a dumb phone).
