Interested in a great brunch this weekend? We’ve reviewed a number of places here, but the brunch special at Don Pedro’s recently caught my eye: $19 for a 3-course brunch AND all-you-can-drink sangria (while you eat, so you can’t linger for hours).
I’m not sure if I’d want to eat so much food while tossing back bottomless drinks, but [...]

Things I despise: happy hours that end at 7pm. Why? There is no way I’m out of work to enjoy them, unless it’s a Friday.
My buddy Tim and I love mugs o' beer.
That’s why I like Third and Long on 3rd and 35th Street. This bar totally gets that some of [...]

Ask Caryn, and she’ll probably give you a different review of this spot, but if I need to dance it out, the first place I’m going is Bowery Electric.
Frankly, it has everything I hate – a line to get in, it’s crowded and there’s a special section that is the best spot in [...]

On my walk home tonight I stumbled upon City Swiggers, a craft beer shop and tasting room on 86th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues. Opened a month ago, City Swiggers has gained some recognition among beer gurus, but it’s great for anyone who loves to try new things. My boyfriend is a huge fan of [...]

If you are looking for a brunch deal that isn’t all you can drink because you want to be productive on a Sunday, consider Fiddlesticks in Greenwich Village. Caryn and I decided to try it for brunch with a few of our girlfriends last weekend because it offered a fabulous deal. For $10, we [...]
