We'd recommend you visit Maison Brasserie whether there's a special deal going on or not (get the rabbit pasta, gnocchi, and duck confit). But this Wednesday the restaurant is celebrating Napoleon Bonaparte's 243rd birthday by giving a free French picnic lunch to the first 100 lunch guests starting at 11:30 a.m. The lunch includes a baguette, pate, green salad, eggs mayonnaise, and accompaniments.

If you don't make it in for lunch, wine on tap is going for just $2.43 a glass until 11 p.m.
