Not long ago our buds over at EatPGH told us about a little deck of 52 cards that packs a HUGE punch for the local dining scene. We've been ecstatic about this for a while, but it's finally coming to fruition! City Dining Cards is finally coming to PITTSBURGH! We're headed to a launch party (and you should be, too) next Tuesday, October 23rd at 6 p.m. at the Round Corner Cantina in Lawrenceville to celebrate, but in the meantime, here's all you'll ever want to know and more:
Grab some
local grub, help fight hunger, and save a few bucks—all with a deck of cards.
City Dining Cards has arrived in Pittsburgh and its hyper-local focus is
encouraging people to support their community by eating locally.
The concept
is simple. Each deck of City Dining Cards contains 50 $10 discount cards with
savings to locally owned restaurants —each worth $10 off a food bill of $30 or
more (tax, tip, and alcohol not included). Restaurants include Pittsburgh
favorites such as Root 174
Industry
Public House, E2, Nine On Nine, and Round Corner Cantina. Two wildcards hidden
in the deck offer freebies at Church Brew Works and Espresso A Mano.
“We wanted
to create an easy and affordable way for people to discover new restaurants
while helping to support and build their community,” says Patrick Finan,
founder of City Dining Cards. “City Dining Cards provides a great opportunity
for Pittsburghers to discover those flavors and experiences you can only find
in locally owned restaurants.”
Demonstrating
their pro-community mantra, City Dining Cards will donate five percent of all
sales of the Pittsburgh edition to the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank, which
collects and distributes more than 27 million pounds of food and grocery
products per year.
A deck of
City Dining Cards costs $20 and can be purchased online at www.citydiningcards.com and
Pittsburgh-area retailers including Marty's Market, Pavement, and Whole Foods. Cards
are valid now through December 31, 2013.
