Last week, I was in a quick rush for lunch and decided to check out a new street cart across the street from my office.  I was in the mood for falafel and luckily, the guy on the street had a great neon green poster advertising my dish for $3.75.  I was sold.
As I waited [...]

When looking for a place to grab lunch the other day, I decided to check out Yelp for some great sandwich shops in the Murray Hill area.  Luckily, I stumbled across Lamazou.
Lamazou is a little cheese shop, located on 3rd between 26th and 27th that has imported treats from around the world - if you [...]

Last week, my co-worker Alicia suggested that we visit Tina’s Cuban Cuisine after reading about it in Time Out New York’s Cheap Eats Issue.  I’ve tried Cuban cuisine in the past, and was not a big fan, but figured I’d give it one more try before I crossed it off my list.  Our co-worker Paul [...]

Last week, we reported that Time Out New York launched it’s Cheap Eats issue.  In this particular issue, I loved that they bulleted out key restaurants in 8 neighborhoods - and Murray Hill, where I work, was one of them.  Second on the list was Carl’s Steaks, and I shared the link with my co-worker/friend/future [...]

In the past month or so two coworkers won free happy hours at Public House (the same is true with Turtle Bay). What impresses me about Public House’s happy hour is that it’s free for 50 members of the winner’s party…not ½ off drinks like at Turtle Bay and not $20 all you can drink [...]

I am not a vegetarian by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, if it weren’t for some of my religious beliefs, I would probably be classified as a carnivore. Because of that, I would say my experience with eating good falafel would be very limited. That said, last week [...]

Last Tuesday, I decided to visit an old favorite bar, Flight 151, down in Chelsea.  While Flight 151 has a variety of specials throughout the week, what really attracted me to the bar on a Tuesday is that it’s flip night.  For those unfamiliar, on Tuesday beginning at 7 p.m. through 1 a.m., every time [...]

The other night I went to dinner with a friend and we topped the night off with a drink. She promised to take me to a dive bar in the East Village (probably not the hardest thing to find) and she certainly kept her promise, thankfully.
Andrea took me to Standings Bar on [...]

Two friends recently came in from Boston and we knew we wanted a nice restaurant where we could relax, chat, and, of course, have good food at a reasonable price. We decided to try out the lunch special at bar.vetro on 58th Street between [...]

Recently Pret A Manger opened up right near work, and our office was very excited about it to say the least. So far I’ve enjoyed the chicken and avocado sandwich, the Moroccan lentil soup and the goat cheese, capers, basil and tomato sandwich. I’ve loved it all (although I did pick off the capers, they [...]
