I’m always interested in exploring new bars in the neighborhood, so I headed over to Kinsale Tavern on Friday night with my boyfriend for some drinks and bar food. It was anything but rowdy on a Friday, but that actually suited us just fine because we wanted to talk and be able to hear [...]

For years, I had been reading about a $10 pitcher and 25 cent wing special every Tuesday at Dillingers here in Astoria. Dillingers is a little big off the beaten path, on 30th Ave but around 46th Street.

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 [...]

A year ago, my old roommate Al and I saw a Yelp Deal for Club A Steakhouse. For $80, we saw that we’d get a three course dinner plus a bottle of wine, so we figured we’d buy it and use it together. Needless to say, it took about [...]
