Half Off Check at Via Verdi; Wine Room at Cypress Room

MIMO — We think it's safe to say that everyone gets a case of the "Mondays." Via Verdi is looking to help you out by giving guests half off their check every Monday on all-day menu items, plus a live DJ will be on hand so you can dance away those Monday blues. [EaterWire]

DESIGN DISTRICT — On February 17, guests of the "Wine Room" dinner at Cypress Room will be encouraged to scratch and sniff their way through the meal. Hosted by Master Sommelier Richard Betts diners will be following their noses to choose their six-courses and pairings. Tickets are $240 per person and includes a signed copy of Betts’ The Essential Scratch & Sniff Guide to Becoming a Wine Expert, tax and gratuity. Buy them here. [EaterWire]
