Tons of Deals at Cafetasia

Last night I checked out Cafetasia on 8th St between University and Greene. I picked this Thai spot simply because you could receive 30% off (up to $50) thanks to a Scoutmob code. For those who don’t know Scoutmob, you flash a code on your phone and get 30% off.

Like Pizza? Try Scott’s Pizza Tours

A few weeks back, my friends and I headed on Scott’s Pizza Tours for my friend’s birthday. Pizza is one of her favorite foods, so it was the perfect way to celebrate. For $40, you get driven around on a school bus, and stop at 4 different pizza spots for a slice. Here’s why [...]

If You Like Bacon, You’ll Love Baconery

A few weeks back, my boyfriend and I went on one of our How About We dates to Baconery on Columbus between 104th and 105th Street. Everything served at Baconery has bacon in it.

Since the restaurant is located downtown, it [...]

A Taste of Thai in Murray Hill

The restaurant was empty at 9:30 [...]

What I liked about Chote Nawab was the modern [...]

A Taste of China in Times Square

Often, my friends and I head to a Broadway show, and we struggle where to eat dinner beforehand. Our concern is we want to go somewhere that can get us out in an hour, has good food, and isn’t over run with tourists. Earlier this month, I was invited in to try Grand Sichuan, [...]
