Cooper 35 Has Everything I Need

By Caryn, on October 20, 2010, 7:14 am

By Meg Parisi Frugal Correspondent

Recently moving to the city has made me somewhat frugal, but I’m ok with the title. I’ve found better ways to save my money rather than splurging on $15 lychee martinis and just mediocre bar food. Now, when my friends and I are looking for a spot where drinks [...]

Cheap Lunch Specials, Drink Deals and Craft Beers – The Brews Brothers Has It All

By Caryn, on October 6, 2010, 7:00 am

I love burgers. I love beer. I love them even more when I get them at a discounted price. That’s why I’m so infatuated with The Brews Brothers on the UES.

The Friday before Labor Day my ex-coworkers all get out of work early, so we wanted to find a place for a cheap [...]

By Caryn, on September 22, 2010, 6:02 am

As part of NY Craft Beer Week (Sept. 24 – Oct. 3), bars, restaurants and breweries are holding all kinds of cool promotions and events. One interesting offering is at Mel’s Burger Bar (by the owners of the famous Tao): a $40 pairing menu, including a Stout milkshake.

Using homemade ice cream from Max [...]

One of the City’s Best Burgers? Not Sure About That, But It Was Definitely Good

By Caryn, on August 13, 2010, 7:11 am

Since moving (back) to the Upper East Side, I’ve been on a quest to hunt out new go-to spots in my neighborhood. Sometimes I get a hankering for pub food, so finding a decent bar with a good burger was something that appealed to me. Everyday I walked by Genesis Restaurant & Bar, and [...]

First, if you like free food and drinks (and who doesn’t?), then consider RSVPing to their grand opening party in honor of the new Boom Boom Room (read: a dance room) this Friday and Saturday night. They’ll be passing out free [...]

Deal Alert! More World Cup Specials!

By Caryn, on June 24, 2010, 3:36 am

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 [...]

Free Burger With Your Beer at Merrion Square

By Caryn, on June 18, 2010, 10:07 am

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 [...]

Deal Alert! World Cup Specials!

By Caryn, on June 11, 2010, 1:52 pm

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 [...]
