I received an email from TravelZoo this morning with a a bunch of local Bay Area deals - in case you're interested here's the full list over on their website. From the email, there were two deals that piqued my interest - their matching algorithms must be working well, since they captured two of my biggest interests, sports and food:

 

• The weather in the Bay Area couldn't be more perfect these days, so it's a great opportunity to catch a Giants game.
