How To Find the Best Local Dining

Dining out is one of the few things that my husband I do together without the kids. We don’t often get a date night, but when we do I love to find a fun new restaurant or try some new cuisine. Finding a place to dine isn’t always the easiest task, though. If we are in the mood for a certain type of food we may not always know where to go or we may be unsure about a restaurant we haven’t frequented before.

I was introduced to Groupon Pages recently, and now finding an amazing place to eat out has been so simple! I absolutely love how easy and quick it was to find a great restaurant with reviews, and sometimes even a nice deal to boot.

Pages is a directory of businesses across the country, including thousands of restaurants. Each restaurant’s page includes basic information (address, takes credit cards, etc.), tips for what to order, reviews, links to Groupon deals, and more. I was browsing around at areas we plan to visit soon and found a fun pub & grill in Green Bay, the Townline Pub & Grill, that looks like a hit, plus they have a sweet deal going on right now!

I found another place that looks like a great place for a date. Naples 15 in Madison, WI, has glowing reviews, and the food looks amazing. I can’t wait to go here with my husband!

When we head north to visit friends in Duluth, MN, we love to try new places to eat. My husband and I used to live in the area, but a lot changes every year so it is fun to see what new restaurants have become popular. The Dry Dock Bar and Restaurant is listed in Groupon Pages, and even though there is no deal at this time there are tons of pictures from those who have frequented the restaurant so you can see what the atmosphere is like, and you can even request a deal.

Whether you are looking for a quick family dinner, a romantic date night, or an authentic meal while traveling, you can easily find a place to eat uses Groupon Pages, plus you might even score a fantastic deal!
