Crazy Cheap Happy Hour & Deal Alert at McCormick and Schmick’s!

Last year McCormick and Schmick’s offered a great Reel to Reel promotion - buy your entree and tack on another $5 to get a movie ticket. And yesterday we tweeted that over the holiday weekend, they were throwing in the movie ticket for free on top of your entree purchase.
But if you didn’t get to [...]

Deal Alert! More World Cup Specials!

In honor of the US’s victory yesterday, we thought we’d share a few more World Cup specials around the city (again, these are not exactly hard to come by, so we’re just picking out a few that we like).
One of our favorites is at Exchange Bar & Grill in Gramercy. If you’re watching the game(s) [...]

Free Burger With Your Beer at Merrion Square

As we noted last week, there are a ton of World Cup specials in the city, so finding a drink or food deal isn’t the hardest part of watching the games at bars. The real difficulty comes in finding a spot that isn’t too crowded (or too empty, for that matter), creating the right atmosphere [...]

Deal Alert! Complimentary Drinks and Massages!

My friend Dory may kill me for sharing this upcoming party with you all since it may make the event a little more crowded, but next week’s Cosmo’s Summer Splash seems like one not to miss! Cosmo (yes, the magazine), is throwing a party at Nikki Beach on Wednesday, June 23 from 7 - 9pm. [...]

Deal Alert! A Second Vodka Open Bar Option!

The free drinks are served until the stash runs out, but apparently if you “friend” them [...]

Drinks And Dumplings For The Truly Broke

Guest Post by Elle Kross, Roosevelt Island Correspondent
I love this blog - it has helped me in many “shit, where should I eat” moments, but as I get more and more broke, and the writers of 89th and Broke get more successful (hint hint, their “guest dinner” opportunities). I thought it was time for a [...]

Deal Alert! World Cup Specials!

Well, it seems like everyone has World Cup fever. Is it just me, or does the World Cup seem to get bigger in the U.S. every four years? I don’t remember anyone talking about it growing up, but since 2002 I’ve noticed more enthusiasm and anticipation for the tournament each time, and I think it’s [...]

Deal Alert! Three Hour Open Bar for $25!

One of our favorite ex-coworkers (well, I guess Laura is an ex-coworker too so I’m the only one left) passed on this deal which we wanted to share with you. Her friend, Rachel, is guest bartending tonight at McFaddens from 10 pm - close. For $25 you can have a three hour open bar (10 [...]
