 A few weeks back I told you about Tenka, a mobile coupon provider. With Tenka, you connect to the service via Facebook and select coupons you’d like to add to “your pocket”. Once at a participating establishment, you show your coupon on your phone, and redeem it to get your freebies or deal.
Tenka is offering free food promotions this week, mostly around Columbia and NYU. You don’t have to be a student though to take advantage of these deals, so if you work or live near these areas, be prepared to score some free meals! Some examples of the freebie include free slices of pizza, 3 free tacos from Korilla BBQ, and more. Here’s the list of freebies!

We love daily deals at 89th and Broke, but who doesn’t? And it seems like new deal sites are popping up every week (well, they actually are), which is great for us, but it can be overwhelming. To make it a little easier on all of you, we compile our favorite food/drink related deals in the NYC area each morning under our Favorite Food Finds posts. But we recognize that those deals are just a handful of the many that may suit your tastes.
That’s why we love Yipit, the daily deal aggregator. We told you about Yipit months ago and encouraged you to sign up for their service (it’s free!) to help you keep a handle on all the great daily deals. To sum it up quickly, Yipit monitors the hundreds of daily deal sites across the country and sends you all personally-relevant deals each morning in one email. How does it know which deals to send? It’s based on your neighborhood (regional deals) and your preferences (e.g., spa, food, women’s clothing, wine tastings).
But Yipit just got better. While the daily deal sites were originally based on geotargeting, meaning they were deals from vendors in your neighborhood/city, they’ve recently been expanding to provide deals that are good at outlets nationwide, like DealVogue’s Starbucks’ card and Groupon’s Nordstrom Rack voucher a few weeks ago. It’s hard enough keeping up with all of the deals in NYC, and now add to that those good across the country, so I was really happy to learn that Yipit launched Yipit Nation this week which aggregates deals that are valid anywhere in the U.S.! Definitely keep an eye on these deals for the rest of the month as these nationwide deals could make good holiday gifts (or be used to purchase gifts)!
If you like the Groupons of the world and haven’t signed up for Yipit yet, we suggest you take a few moments to do so. And if you’re already receiving their emails and want the Nation email too, then just log in and sign up for it by clicking “Nation” at the top of the website and going from there. And of course keep checking 89th and Broke Monday-Friday for a quick summary of restaurant and bar deals in the city!
