The Caribbean Special at the Orleans Grapevine has become one of the best-selling specials at the Cajun Creole restaurant on Orleans Avenue in the French Quarter due in part to the ability of Get City Dealz to easily get the word out about the unique special. The use of pictures to promote the special on the Get City Dealz and the ease of sharing the special on sites like Facebook and Pinterest are helping to grow the Orleans Grapevine’s business.

“This special has huge appeal to people local to New Orleans as well as visitors even if you just read about it, but interest really spiked when the pictures showed what the food looked like and the beauty of the hand carved Belizean conch shell. People shared the special more and expressed desire to come in and try it. The Get City Dealz platform made it easy for the Orleans Grapevine to do that quickly and easily. Their Chef, Eddie Raye King, took the pictures with his camera and they put together the special in a matter of minutes,” explained Liana “Li” Evans, CTO of Get City Dealz.

Get City Dealz is now helping the Orleans Grapevine bring awareness to their large selection of wines from all over the world. The restaurant’s collection of wines is one of the largest in the New Orleans area and includes wines from New Zealand, Chile, France, Italy and many more countries.
