If you haven’t had a chance to explore Brooklyn yet, and you should have, then head over for Dine in Brooklyn. From March 15-25 you can get three courses at any of the 175+ participating restaurants for only $20.10 at lunch or $25 at dinner, making it a far better deal than the traditional RW. [...]

Earlier this week, Laura (thoughts in italics) and I were lucky enough to visit West 3rd Common (full disclosure: we were invited to dine there. We are ethical bloggers!). West 3rd Common is owned by the same person who runs Common Ground, which our guest writer, Jenni, reviewed last week, and it just opened this [...]

*See below for a special 89th and Broke deal
A few weeks ago Laura and I were lucky enough to be invited to a blogger/online media event at Vertuccio’s Pizza on the Park in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Sadly Laura had to miss out due to a holiday party, so McKenna, our “IT” person responsible for the new [...]

After attending Cook. Eat. Drink. Live last month, I added a trip to Spanish Harlem to eat at Ricardo Steak House to my to-do list. So when my roommate Al and I decided that we’d grab a steak dinner as our Christmas gift to each other, we decided to head uptown.
Now, before we went up [...]

In the mood for some laughs? Then check out the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, or more commonly referred to as UCB, in Chelsea.

While you may think my first home in NYC was 89th street, at one point in my life, I called Williamsburg my home. My old roommate Crystal and I decided to meet up for dinner last night, and since she still lives in the neighborhood, I thought I’d head back to my old stomping grounds [...]

As we told you about a few weeks ago, Ayza Wine & Chocolate Bar is having a Facebook promotion - become a friend of the restaurant on Facebook and you can get a glass of wine or sangria for free. Free booze and food will always draw me in, so I friended them, as did [...]

Toon Thai Cafe just made it cool to dine grandma-style. That’s right, their early bird special is nothing to scoff at. It has to be one of the better deals in the city - $15 for FOUR courses! Every day from 5-7 pm you can enjoy a Thai salad, your choice of appetizer, dinner and [...]

I like Restaurant.com for its regular deals, but I love it when the gift certificates are 70 or even 80% off. A few weeks ago I snatched a bunch of certificates totaling $135 in savings and costing me a grand $19.80. The best part of these certificates is having the ability to try a restaurant [...]
