You can get $3 off a demonstration class at the New Orleans School of Cooking. And 20% off a New Orleans electric car rental.

Passport holders might like the buy one get one free martini deal at the Bombay Club. And even a free bottle of wine from the Redfish Grill — with the purchase of two dinner entrees.
