Frappucino Happy Hour is back at Starbucks. From May 4th through May 13th, visit any Starbucks between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. and get a frappucino - any flavor and size - for half price. Try their new flavors, too - the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino and Chocolate Cookie Crumble Crème Frappuccino.

It's that time of year again: The Redhead's annual crawfish boils. On May 13th, from 1 p.m. till they sell out, $30 will get you 2 pounds of crawfish, sausage, corn, potatoes, garlic & artichokes. Abita Beers will be featured, and the regular menu won't be served - so get over there and start picking crawdads. If it's too busy - the deal is even being offered to go.
