Sip & Savor

It never ceases to amaze us how cheap the check is when you don't booze during a meal.

Now you can have your lunch and libations too, during the 25 cent martini lunch at SoBou every Monday - Friday, from 11:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. This French Quarter hotspot asks only that you abide by two rules: order an entree for the table and cap your "Two Bit cocktails" at three total. The respite is not just for the lush rush - swing back with the gals or a date in the evening for glasses of wine pouring out of the wall dispensers and creative apps like yellowfin tuna cones.

Here's a quarter. Call someone who shares.
