Today is the day us Americans realize one of two situations:

  1. We landed a windfall from our rich Uncle Sam
  2. Or we find ourselves suddenly in debt to him

Oh I guess there’s a third option where you break even and find yourself no richer or poorer than you were the day before. Ha!

What ever the case, Tax Day is as good a day as any other to take advantage of money we didn’t have or drown our sorrows over the money we are about to lose.

These fine establishments are ready to help with these great specials on food and beverages for your Tax Day celebrations….or commiserations.
