Well, it’s that time of year again, time for Thanksgiving and Black Friday, the two busiest days of my life. One day I spent cooking and eating the greatest food on Earth, then I have a midday nap and I get ready to stand out in the cold so that I can get amazing shopping deals. Now, if you are like me, you won’t want to cook for about a week after this blessed holiday. I don’t blame you at all; in fact I have a plan. My master plan this year is to get gift certificates that at a discount on sites like citydeals or others and then use them for restaurants the rest of the week. If I am not going to be making dinner for a little while, as I recoup I don’t want to pay full price. Also, around this holiday, I have noticed the nicer restaurant seem to be less crowded which adds to a more private dinner, which I enjoy

A reason to feel like a million bucks
It is you and your lady's special night and you want it to be perfect. You have put some put some effort into the night and your planning is going to pay off. You are dressed up, you have some nice play tickets and now you need the glue that holds the night together, the dinner.
If you want to do this right, do some research online. Between the Zagat guide and other online sites, you can get a pretty good idea what restaurants are serving and their price. Also, ask for recommendations from co-workers and friends, a great deal of restaurants fall under the radar because they don't have the advertising budgets of larger restaurants.
Once at the restaurant, don't worry about the price. Being a penny pincher at a dinner like this, will lead nowhere but to catastrophe. Make sure that you have set aside enough money and just take in the ambiance of the night and enjoy. Make it a night that you and your significant other will remember fondly.
