Another Great Food Crawl From The Dealist!

As always, The Dealist‘s neighborhood food crawl, Tastes of Nolita, proved to be a deliciously delightful day! I went with my roommate Katie, Red Headed Correspondent (and photographer here!), and we had a great afternoon walking around Nolita, trying savory and sweet dishes from seven hot spots, and shopping for jewelry and other fun [...]

Deal Alert! Free Pizza for Military Members at Uno’s!

We’ve written about some of the deals at Uno Chicago Grill in the past and they have a new one worthy of sharing on Sunday, February 6th and Monday, February 7th for Military members. Uno’s is sending Deep Dish Pizzas overseas for troops in Iraq and Afghanistan to enjoy during the Super Bowl game, [...]

Spunto Makes a Great Lunch Spot

Caryn and I don’t see each other nearly as often as we’d like, so when she was by my office the other day, she suggested we meet up for lunch.  Since we’re both bargain hunters, Spunto was the perfect spot for a sit-down lunch because of its affordable lunch menu.

Now Spunto is the [...]

Cajun Style Pizza? Works For Me!

I’ve heard a ton about Two Boots pizza over the past few years (and we’ve even shared some Deal Alerts), but for some unknown reason I had never been there before. That changed a few weeks ago when my boyfriend discovered there was one a few blocks from me and insisted that we go.

Deal Alert! $1 Beers on Wednesdays at Tonda!

Thanks to NYC Daily Deals, we know that Tonda in the East Village is offering $1 beer Wednesdays throughout the summer. Up tonight? Olde Saratoga Lager.

It’s rare to find a higher quality beer (read: not PBR or Bud Light) at such a discount, so this is truly a steal. You can enjoy your [...]

$2 Coronas and Buffalo Chicken Pizza? Yes, Please

In the bar-wasteland around my office, a very welcome addition has been Whiskey Rebel on 28th and Lexington. Curry Hill doesn’t seem like a natural spot for such a bar, and isn’t, but I think that’s why it works.

What we love about the bar is the free popcorn or snack mixes they serve [...]

Please Turn Down the Noise Level at Pulino’s

My old roommate Crystal and I hadn’t see each other since March, so last night we decided to catch up at Pulino’s.  If you decide to head to Pulino’s, reservations are recommended.  We tried to make a reservation the day of for 8pm, and were left with the options of 7 or 9 for [...]
