World Yacht is hosting a very fun and seasonal event on Saturday, September 18th - New York’s First Annual Oktoberfest on the Hudson! On the first day of Germany’s Oktoberfest, World Yacht’s Pier 81 will be transformed into a beer garden with authentic German beers such as Gaffel Kolsch, Hofbrau, Jever, Radeberger and Weihenstephan on [...]

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 [...]

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) [...]

As we noted last week, there are a ton of World Cup specials in the city, so finding a drink or food deal isn’t the hardest part of watching the games at bars. The real difficulty comes in finding a spot that isn’t too crowded (or too empty, for that matter), creating the right atmosphere [...]

A while back we received a note from the founder of I’m Not At Work, a card membership that “turns every hour into happy hour.” With the purchase of a $25 I’m Not At Work card, you become eligible for “happy hour” specials at participating bars at nearly every hour of the day. To top off [...]

A few of us were looking forward to the Yelp Elite event to preview Zengo a week or so ago, but unfortunately it was postponed because Zengo was unable to secure its liquor license in time. To drown our sorrows, we expanded our little group and headed over to Rattle n’ Hum Bar, per our [...]

Last week Laura and I attended Shecky’s Girls Night Out last week and had a great time (Laura’s thoughts are in italics). We went to a similar event last fall with some coworkers, but I found the kiosks to be more up my alley this time.
First, I was really excited to try Budweiser’s Select 55, [...]

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 [...]

Want something to do next Tuesday? Preferably something that’s free? Well, The Skint tipped us off to the VIP Grand Opening of 1834 Bar & Burger down in the Financial District. From 6-8 pm they’ll be serving complimentary cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, giving you plenty of time to get home in time for LOST (for [...]
