Deal Alert! Dress Like a Cow and Get Free Chick-fil-A!

According to Chick-fil-A, tomorrow is Cow Appreciation Day and the only way to properly celebrate such a bizarre occasion is to dress as a cow from “head to hoof.” This only seems logical. As a reward for your dedication to the cow, you’ll receive a free meal. And if you’re a “little chicken” as they put [...]

Fourth of July Activities

If you’re sticking around the city this weekend (I actually love fourth of July in NYC), then you’re probably thinking about where to catch the fireworks. Naturally your own/a friend’s rooftop is ideal and free, but if you don’t have that option or if you’re looking for something different, here are a few ways [...]

Deal Alert! Free Personal Training!

Okay, so I’m going to be 100% straight up honest with you…this is a personal plug. About a year ago I went back to school to study nutrition and recently I started another new, yet related, chapter in my life and am now a personal trainer at Synergy gym on 31st and Lex. Similar [...]

Cheap Cooking Classes at Whole Foods

Although I haven’t tried them yet, I’m excited about Whole Foods’ VERY affordable cooking classes! Cooking classes, even with a daily deal voucher, seem to run anywhere between $25-200, so it’s a real steal to attend one for only $10, let alone for free!

Available at the Bowery, Tribeca and UWS locations, you can [...]

Deal Alert! Free Admission & Movie Screenings at the Sony Wonder Technology Lab!

If you’re looking for something new to do in the city, consider the Sony Wonder Technology Lab, a four-story interactive technology and entertainment experience with cool exhibits that “bring technology and creativity together to make learning experiential, entertaining and fun.”

Sounds interesting to me, especially since admission is free! However, reservations are highly recommended and can [...]
