For this, my first contribution to We Love DC, I want to talk about a company new to the DC area that is leveraging collective buying power to offer fantastic discounts at local retailers and service providers. “Groupon”, which launched its DC operation on May 26th, is a catchy play on the word “Coupon” (I [...]

I believe I’ve already shared with everyone that I’m a regular reader of the local dc foodie blog Metrocurean.

Metrocurean author Amanda suggested a bunch of [...]
