Guzzle & Nosh

Puffed rice from Street.

April is National Grilled Cheese Month and National Poetry Month, but it's also a month of evil. It's tax month. To help, here are a few tax day and, in some cases, tax month, deals. (BTW the last date to file taxes this year is April 18th.)

Every day during the month of April, Street is offering a Tax Relief Lunch from noon to 3 p.m.: every item costs $11 or less -- even the brioche cheeseburger. It culminates on April 18th with an all-day "Unhappy Hour." Street will extend its happy hour from opening to closing, serving bar food for $5 or less alongside strong drinks.

All deals are valid only on Monday, April 18th unless otherwise noted.

BLT Steak
Half off all alcoholic beverages, including cocktails, beer, wines by the glass and bottles of wine all day long. (BLT opens at 6 p.m.)

Cafe Del Rey
From Friday, April 15th through Monday, April 18th, get a half-dozen oysters and a glass of sparkling wine for $20 -- complete with a view of the marina from the recently redesigned lounge.

Gladstones in Malibu
From Friday, April 15th through Monday, April 18th, Gladstones will offer glasses of "Refund Punch" -- made with Bacardi dragon berry rum, muddled fresh strawberries, mint, club soda and lime juice -- for $4.15.

GO Burger
Half off all alcoholic beverages, including cocktails, beer, wines by the glass and bottles of wine all day long.
