These March Madness deals score regardless of a busted bracket
While the first day of Spring had people longing for beautiful, sunny days and blooming flowers, another seasonal rite of passage is on this week’s calendar. It is time to fill out those basketball brackets. From well-researched options to randomly chosen teams, the process does not matter. These food and beverage March Madness deals have everyone cheering no matter the outcome.
From diehard basketball fans to fair weather followers, everyone seems to have basketball on their mind for a few weeks a year. As people cheer for the alma mater or hope to win big by carefully predicting the perfect, or imperfect, outcome, the event becomes as much about the final score as it is about the time spent with friends.
Since food and beverages make the gathering even more enjoyable, many restaurants are offering deals, specials, and other offerings. No matter the particular craving, there is an option for everyone.
