Revisiting the Review: Daytime Drinking at Down the Hatch

By Laura, on January 13, 2012, 7:42 am

Last weekend, I organized a group of about 30 of my friends and we headed to Down the Hatch down in the West Village for a day of drinking. Why do we day drink at Down the Hatch? Well the deal is phenomenal – $21 gets you 3 pitchers of beer and all [...]

Sometimes I Need to Just Dance at Bowery Electric

By Laura, on December 13, 2011, 8:06 am

Ask Caryn, and she’ll probably give you a different review of this spot, but if I need to dance it out, the first place I’m going is Bowery Electric.

Frankly, it has everything I hate – a line to get in, it’s crowded and there’s a special section that is the best spot in [...]

Deal Alert! It’s Movember!

By Caryn, on November 3, 2011, 7:01 am

Yes, you read that correctly. Movember is a charity that encourages men to grow moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men’s health issues, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men (money raised in the US goes to Prostate Cancer Foundation, LiveSTRONG, etc.). These Mo Bros register with the [...]

A Positively Peculier Pub

By Caryn, on August 25, 2011, 6:41 am

Earlier this summer a few of us wanted to get together for some drinks but we were getting antsy to try something new. A little digging online for good beers at good prices brought us to Peculier Pub in the Village.

A favorite among beer enthusiasts (and NYU students apparently, so the summer was [...]

The Belgian Room Serves Up Great Deals!

By Caryn, on August 15, 2011, 7:09 am

After our successful mini bar crawl of the UES, my boyfriend and I decided to stroll through our favorite neighborhood – the East Village – and try a few spots. Unfortunately the rain made us go home earlier than planned, but we did make it to Hop Devil Grill and The Belgian Room.

He’d [...]

Cool Bars on the UES

By Caryn, on August 2, 2011, 7:55 am

While I’ve lived on the UES for over a year now, there are a number of restaurants and bars that I haven’t gotten around to trying yet. So last week my boyfriend and I decided to hit up three new bars: Ryan’s Daughter, Caledonia Scottish Pub, and Auction House.

We started at Ryan’s Daughter [...]

Idle Hands is a Great Spot

By Laura, on July 25, 2011, 7:31 am

Wondering where to go out tonight? Consider Idle Hands Bar, located on Avenue B between 3rd and 2nd. I visited this bar, which is located underground below Billy Hurricane’s a few weeks back for a work event and fell in love with it for three main reasons:

Beer and bourbon. While I’m not a [...]

Try This Trick! Bitehunter Finds You a Deal!

By Caryn, on May 25, 2011, 12:50 am

I hate it when I’m already out and need to quickly (people get impatient easily!) decide on a place for a meal or a drink, knowing that if I had my computer I could easily find a deal nearby versus settling on the closest spot. Yes, my smart phone does help, but I like [...]

Decent Meal at Mason Jar

By Laura, on April 7, 2011, 7:37 am

The other night, a couple of my girlfriends (including Caryn) and I were looking to get dinner together in Murray Hill. We thought we’d try Mason Jar, mainly because we were able to get a $25 restaurant.com gift certificate there for $4.50 with a coupon code (so each of would spend $1, and get [...]
