This week D.C. daily deals websites Groupon and LivingSocial are getting company. Both Gilt City, an offshoot of the designer fashion website Gilt Groupe, and Rue Washington, D.C., a city-specific part of RueLaLa.com, are launching in the District, offering those signed up with specialized experiences or discounts for going out.
Early Wednesday morning, RueLaLa will offer its first D.C. deal, a three-course meal with wine pairings at Urbana Restaurant & Wine Bar for $100. Gilt, on the other hand, has already sold out its first bargains, including tickets to a private cocktail event at the W Hotel’s P.O.V. and advanced screening tickets to see “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”
