If you love sweets then you have to head uptown to Sucré. 

Located at 3025 Magazine St., Sucré is an emporium of "artisan" sweets born from the vision of New Orleans restauranteur Joel Dondis. Joel wants to tempt your taste buds so if you buy $30 or more of chocolate or entrements you receive 15% off. But you have to hurry. This great deal is only available until June 30, 2008. Simply present your DealMail to get this terrific deal. Unfortunately chocolate display items and wedding cakes are not included. But there is a fabulous array of other great Artisan treats for you and your sweetheart to enjoy, all at 15% off! Joel prefers that you not combine this deal with any other deals and offers or try to use it on sale or discounted items. After all, guy's gotta make a living.  

Journey back to a time when 10 cent oysters, cold beer and A/C was advertised. 

In addition to a great "bring a friend for 1/2 price drinks" at the bar happy hour every Monday - Friday from 4-7, Grand Isle will offer all Nola Deal members a special No Corkage Fee deal through June 30, 2008. Just stop in for lunch or dinner on a Monday or Tuesday, bring up to two bottles of your favorite wine and they'll waive the corkage fee. That alone is worth your membership fee!  And of course, bring your Nola Deals DealMail for the waiter lest he think you're not really a member. You can find Grand Isle at the corners of Fulton St. and Lafayette St.

Reservations are suggested and you can get them by calling 520-8530 or online.

Planning to take the family to the beach this summer? Then you need the Delta World Tire "Road Trip" package. 

For just $59.95 (a 50% savings I might add) you can make sure your car is ready for the road. The friendly folks over at DWT will change your oil (up to 5 quarts), rotate and balance your tires, inspect them for any nails or punctures (like we have those in New Orleans), top off your fluid levels and make sure your brakes and filters are in tip-top shape. And to make sure you can see where you're going, they'll throw in an Aquapel Treatment (makes the water bead on your windshield to improve visibility during rain) to make sure your vehicle is as ready for the beach as you are. Click here to find the nearest Delta World Tire location. And like all our great Nola Deals, you'll just need a copy of your email.   

For the little Bath Junkie in your life…

My good friend Jennifer over at Bath Junkie is making it easy for you to plan and host the perfect party for your little girl. You just bring the refreshments and Jennifer and her staff do the rest.

Your little girl and her friends will play games and make their own bath products to take home along with a nylon bath puffy and their very own rubber ducky. All for just $20 per girl. To get this great deal, just book your party prior to June 15 (the actual party can be anytime this summer), mention your NolaDeals membership and she’ll waive the $30 booking fee. And for you big girls, don’t worry you too can play along… it’s a perfect bachelorette party or just a fun night girls night out.  Just $25 a  person, with a bottle of lotion in your take home pouch… unless of course you want your own rubber ducky.

You can book your party by calling the Bath Junkie at 895-1458 or stop by the store located at
6071 Magazine Street (across from Perlis).

Have you stopped by the coolest new coffee bar in Lakeview?

If not, head over to Nola Beans, located at 762 Harrison Avenue on any Monday between now and June 30, 2008 and get a free cup of regular small coffee with the purchase of a breakfast item. Just be sure to present your DealMail and tell them Nancy sent you. 

I’ve long been a fan of Kenny Rabalais’ Plant Gallery on Airline Drive. Whether I’m getting my Christmas tree, flowers and plants for my garden or those adorable home furnishings his wife Jennifer sells in the showroom, it is just a wonderful place to shop. So I was sooo excited when Kenny agreed to offer our Nola Deal members 20% off any ONE item (sorry folks I couldn’t get him to extend the offer to landscaping!).

And that’s not the half of it… if you haven’t heard, Kenny just opened Home and Garden, his new 18,000 square foot home decorating and furnishing center in Covington. And he has graciously offered 10% off any ONE item. And yes, that includes everything from a $30 candle to a $13,000 Baker Furniture dining room set – that’s a deal worth up to $1,300! Seems worth worth a trip over the causeway and for you Northshore members, be sure to pop on over. The showroom is beautiful and everything on the floor is in stock – so no waiting for the furnishings to arrive!

The new Home and Garden center is located at 2033 highway 190 or call them at 985-875-7576 for directions and store hours. And of course, the fabulous original Plant Gallery is still at 9401 Airline Drive or you can call them at 488-8887.
