There is no better deal in the city than 99 Cent Fresh Pizza (43rd btw Lex and 3rd) — especially when you’re drunk. The pizza is good, the slices are big, and the service is fast. They’re open 24 hours a day which is great for [...]

I’m a recent postgrad on a tight budget so I’m constantly on the look out for good deals and cheap meals. Crocodile Lounge in the East Village out does itself daily by by offering a free personal pizza with every single drink purchase. That’s a [...]

I recently fell back in love with daytime drinking. There’s really nothing better than having a few beers midday, going to bed by midnight, and having all of Sunday hangover-free to tackle whatever projects you wanted to finish over the weekend.
Last weekend, I headed over to Down the Hatch to indulge in some beers and [...]

I am probably the stingiest person I’ve ever met. I’m also probably the hungriest. I could eat 24 hours a day and I rarely turn down an offer to grab dinner. In order to avoid shelling out $20 for these dinners, I’m constantly on the [...]

After attending Cook. Eat. Drink. Live last month, I added a trip to Spanish Harlem to eat at Ricardo Steak House to my to-do list. So when my roommate Al and I decided that we’d grab a steak dinner as our Christmas gift to each other, we decided to head uptown.
Now, before we went up [...]

Challenge: Find a place that sits 7 girls, takes a reservation on a Sunday at 1 p.m. and offers unlimited drinks.
Answer: Arte Pasta.
With my friend Kristen back in town from Atlanta, a few of my girlfriends and I gathered for brunch last weekend to catch up. Being sorority sisters, clearly we needed to find [...]

Time is running out for my City Shuffle Diner’s Deck cards (I only have until Dec. 31st to use them all), so I’m trying to make an effort to hit up the most enticing places before the year’s end.
I was in the mood for simple Italian this week, and while I can’t say that John’s [...]

I was meeting up with a few friends on a Friday night, and instead of the typical bar scene, we wanted to do a simpler dinner and drinks. Always on the hunt for a good deal, we decided to try Cherin Sushi, a BYOB sushi place in the East Village.
Although the restaurant is really small, [...]

In my life, three burger places have been built up to bucket list status. The first, Dotty Dumpling’s Dowry in Madison, WI, lived up to expectations. It was my go-to burger through four years of college, because, let’s be honest, Midwesterners know their grilled meats. The second, In-N-Out Burger [...]

I like to think it was a sign from God. As my roommate Alex and I opened the door to our new apartment in Murray Hill, a flurry of take-out menus attacked us. One, however, stood out - a Chinese take-out menu that offered combination dinners for under $7.
Now, I love a good combination dinner. [...]
