Having never been to Kravings
Having never been to Kravings before today I have to say Wow. That has to be one of the best sandwiches I have had in a while. Fresh Cannolis too. Yum. Thank you.
Lori Ann, your comment about
Lori Ann, your comment about Kravings is a good segway for me. From your review I'll be trying this local sandwich shop some time in the near future. I was going to comment on my own experiences with the "deal of the day" a week ago.
I won a coupon for Delevan's. We went to this establishment for the first time last Friday night with my Batavian coupon in hand. It was such a treat! The atmosphere was fantastic -- walls were decorated with local history and artwork by local artists. The food was fantastic! I highly recommend the stuffed haddock. My mother-in-law loved it, too -- Friday night is our special night out with her. We will be regulars after experiencing this establishment for the first time.
I actually called Howard to let him know how much I enjoyed it and to thank him for the "deals of the day". Howard has hit on a local theme that we can all find common ground on -- no political battles here -- I hope any way.
We are so fortunate in Genesee County. We have some of the best restaurants, running the gambit from casual to fine dining -- and there is no comparison between our local restaurants and the chains. I have made a conscientious effort to spend my dollars at locally owned businesses as much as possible. It's a fun challenge and reviews like Lori Ann's can be a great motivator to "buy local".
Thanks for the comments.
Thanks for the comments. After Lorie's call, it got me thinking -- I should collect some "testimonials" from people who have used "deal of the day." I would like to hear from more people who bought a gift certificate from The Batavian and used it to discover a local business for the first time.
You know Howard that I am
You know Howard that I am never for a loss of words. So far every deal of the day that I have used has been fantastic. It is a great idea to showcase the local businesses the way you are. Its a win win situation. I tell everyone about the Deal of the Day. They in turn purchase the GC from you or just go to the establishments. I hope that it is keeping more of the money local. Good idea to say the least.........
I landed on one from the
I landed on one from the Enchanted Florist. I found 2 items for Christmas gifts and a terrific birthday card. Kudos to the "deal of the day". Many times I just can't quite get there when it's posted! Thanks Howard...for all you do...
