YOUR TURN: Would You Turn Off Your Cell Phone During Dinner for a Discount?

One restaurant in L.A. is offering a 5 percent discount to patrons who ditch their phones during their meal. Would you like to see this in the South End?

There will surely be more additions as business in Boston picks up and restaurants catch on. Formerly known as VillageVines, Savored.com has rebranded and expanded, and, dare I say it, gotten a much classier upgrade. Like the incredibly popular Groupon and LivingSocial sites, Savored offers major discounts for dining out, but there’s a twist. Unlike with …
