One of the City’s Best Burgers? Not Sure About That, But It Was Definitely Good

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I Love, Love, Love 3 Steps!

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 [...]

Exchange Bar & Grill’s Pricing Based on the “Stock Market” (Deal Alert too!)

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, [...]
