Deal Alert! Super Bowl Sunday Specials!

Naturally nearly every bar in town is touting some special to attract the crowds this Sunday. You’ll be able to find $4 pints, half-priced drinks, etc., just about anywhere.

First – and Last – Time at Limerick House

You know a restaurant is bad when you show up a few drinks in, and find the food to be disgusting.

Wednesday night after consuming a few cocktails at the StyleFixx party, Caryn and several of our friends decided to find a place for dinner.  Starving, we stumbled into the Limerick House, on 23rd [...]

Flip a Coin, Win Free Drinks

We enjoyed the happy hour specials ($3 domestic [...]

Where’s the rest of the sour cream?

While researching Happy Hour specials before Yelp’s Inaugural Ball last month, I came across Still’s Tuesday night deal. Although we didn’t try it that night, I kept it in mind for a future Tuesday, and last night I had the chance to check it out.

Still offers a pretty incredible deal: $1 Bud/Bud Light [...]

Heat Up this Winter at Atomic Wings

Guest Post By Caryn Donohue, Gramercy Correspondent

Odds are you’ve tried Atomic Wings, or at least heard of them.  But if you’re one of the few that hasn’t, you better find a location near you ASAP – preferably one that’s part of a bar like Blue Moon or Down the Hatch (they taste [...]
