It's been a few days. I finally bought myself a pack of Orbit gum. Chomp chomp chomp. Chew chew chew. It's another post about Beef & Kimchi! Oyyyyy
Two plugs on this post...
FIRST: Here, we have the amazing technicolor collective buying power that is Groupon.
I was introduced to Groupon in my boss' persuasion that our work bowling team (very short-lived) needed some practice before going face to face against Cherry Lane Music Publishing, our co-publishers on the Black Eyed Peas/David Guetta hit, "I Gotta Feeling." Groupon had some ridiculous bowling deal at Chelsea Piers. I guess she should have pushed the Groupon on us harder (we lost!), but it wasn't until Gao Di started letting Groupon change her life that I started to come around. Since then, we've contemplated buying a boot camp series on the Brooklyn Bridge, a poledancing class, and enrolling Gao Di in the "Live off of Groupon and Win $100,000" contest - all beautiful dreams that never came to fruition. ;)
In more serious matters, I've bought a handful of Groupons including a $12 (worth $24) hot lavender manicure in Tribeca (which also paid for an unexpected Leelee Sobieski celebrity sighting!), 4 Baja Fresh Burritos for $16 (which I split with my coworker), and now two $7 groupons, each worth $15 of fare at Mantao Chinese Sandwiches!

Which brings us to Plug #2: Mantao Chinese Sandwiches! Located on 53rd Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenue, these tasty little sesame bun sandwiches are so delicious that I used both of my Groupons back to back in two days! And it is a little bit of a walk from Madison Ave...
The first day, I went sandwich crazy and ordered 3 - Beef & Kimchi, the Angus burger, and Spicy Pork. I slowed down tremendously by the end of the Angus Burger, and had to leave Spicy Pork as a dinner appetizer. The second day I sat in their sunny restaurant with my coworker, talking in between bites of the Beef & Kimchi Sandwich, Spicy Mackerel sandwich, and a side order of juicy pork and shrimp dumplings.
The $9.95 combo box includes any two sandwiches of your choice, shrimp chips, and Chinese slaw. I recommend Beef & Kimchi (DUH) and Braised Pork. Those ones are the tastiest. Git git!

I am registered with Groupon, but haven't bought any yet. But from your experiences, I'm excited to go Groupon crazy!
Exciting that they have one for Denver! Hope some great deals come your way :D
