Since moving (back) to the Upper East Side, I’ve been on a quest to hunt out new go-to spots in my neighborhood. Sometimes I get a hankering for pub food, so finding a decent bar with a good burger was something that appealed to me. Everyday I walked by Genesis Restaurant & Bar, and after [...]

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 $1 adult [...]

July 21st marks National Belgian Day and Petite Abeille is celebrating with some food and drink specials. If you want to honor your Belgian heritage or if you just want to down a few Belgian beers and dine on mussels and fries, then look no further than the 1st Ave and 20th Street Petite Abeille location.
All [...]

In honor of the US’s victory yesterday, we thought we’d share a few more World Cup specials around the city (again, these are not exactly hard to come by, so we’re just picking out a few that we like).
One of our favorites is at Exchange Bar & Grill in Gramercy. If you’re watching the game(s) [...]

I’m happy to report that I’ve found a new affordable (read: cheap) spot for my drinking: Manny’s on Second. I hit it up during the free hour open bar that’s hosted by I’m Not At Work at a new location each month, and lucky for us, this past month it was at this fine establishment (I take [...]

So as I teased earlier this week in my write-up of Posto, I have a great new bar to share with all of you! 3 Steps, located on the same block, so 2nd Avenue between 18th and 19th, is a fantastic little hole in the wall and I’m literally excited to tell you about it. [...]

Last night we were invited to Exchange Bar and Grill in honor of its official opening (it’s been in a soft-opening stage for a few weeks). Laura had a prior commitment, so I headed over with McKenna (who does our design/tech stuff for the blog) to check out this new place. I’ve walked by it many, many [...]

As we noted, 1834 Bar & Burger celebrated its VIP Grand Opening Party with free drinks and hors d’oeuvres on Tuesday. But the celebration doesn’t end there.
In the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, there will be drink specials and a DJ playing all day today. And even better, starting tomorrow and lasting through Sunday, March 21st, 1834 Bar [...]

A few weeks ago Laura and I were invited to the opening of the new Johnny Rockets up on 62nd and 1st. Always excited for an event, we attended with her roommate in toe, but we weren’t sure what to expect. Don’t get me wrong, I like Johnny Rockets, but when I’m on the boardwalk [...]

Uncle Jack’s Steakhouse was kind enough to let us know about some weekly promotions they have, and we thought you’d like to know about them as well!
Wine Tasting Wednesday: From 5-7 pm in Manhattan (6-8 pm in Bayside), you can sit up at the bar and take part in a complimentary wine tasting with artisanal [...]
