Every deal we vet, travel guide we publish, and blog post we write is designed to help you get the most value out of your trips – after all, no one wants to squander those precious vacation days.

Now, we’re bringing that expertise to your home turf with ShermansTravel Local Deals. Each week we'll present 1 or 2 experiences that you'll want to highlight on your social calendar. We've done our homework, scouring New York City to negotiate the best entertainment packages, VIP restaurant deals, perk-filled theater nights, hard-to-access tours, and more – all offered at 50 to 80 percent off the rack rate.

We’re kicking this off in New York City with half off a two-hour wine-tasting course at Vino-Versity, but stay tuned: More cities and value-packed deals are in the works.
