Souper Deals and Discounts!
Last week we promised good news that our readers could use. We just saved a bundle on our…wait, that’s not the news. 
But we do have tips for how you can save a bundle.
Some of your favorite places in Harlem including restaurants, salons and stores are offering discounts to customers who come in with gift certificates from Experience Harlem. Experience Harlem is a "premium direct program and a soon-to-launch website. [The] Experience Harlem gift certificate booklet will soon arrive in the mailboxes of Harlem’s growing well-heeled consumer base." Angie Hancock of Experience Harlem tells us:
"The gift certificates are free to consumers. They are mailed to 10,000 households once a quarter as well as available via the internet."
So, how can UPTOWN flavor readers take advantage of the deals? Click the link and start spending!
As was previously mentioned, the Original Soupman has opened up a shop farther uptown and is offering 10% discounts to readers of local papers like the Harlem News. You can pick up a free copy of the Harlem News in stores all around Harlem. The Soupman has taken out a full page ad that reads, "You came to my store on 55th Street off Eighth Avenue, and now I am coming to Harlem." The offer expires 8/21/06 so hurry or there will be "no [cheap] soup for you!"

Well isn’t the Soup Man technically already in Harlem because he has a shop right on 112 and Broadway. Peeps need to stop acting like that area is not Harlem. Just cause it’s Columbia doesn’t mean it’s not Harlem.

Oh and is $12 soup gonna work in Harlem? I love The Lobster Bisque from The Soup Man but DAMN his soup puts a hurt in your pocket. He needs to have like a $5 sampler for the Harlem folks that have never had his stuff and want to try cause the $12 soup might deter the locals
