From Boka to Bon-Soirée, there’s an option for every neighborhood, cuisine and price point within the impressive roster. Simply present that restaurant’s card, and receive $10 off the bill. For 30 bucks, you get $520 worth of dining, and a dollar a deck goes to Common Threads, Art Smith’s charity aimed at educating children on nutrition and cultural diversity through cooking.
