This week: free cookies, kids’ meals and lattes, discount sandwiches and more!

4. Tasting Table

New Yorkers ought to sign up for the daily Tasting Table email list, which offers exclusive weekly specials at local restaurants. From April 5-9, that’s 20% off lunch at Dickson’s Farmstand, an artisanal meat stand in Chelsea Market. (Must mention the deal on arrival and present the print-out coupon.)

5. Tippr.com

At this group discount site, the more people who want in on a deal, the lower the price drops. Through April 6, Seattle residents can get a $50 voucher to Roxy’s Diner for $25. (The fine print: Voucher does not cover alcohol purchases, and you can use one per customer.)
