Recently two of my favorite coworkers (actually, we’ve all since given our two weeks notice, so now they’re simply two of my favorite friends), decided to have a ladies-only dinner to catch up. Since two of the three (myself included) quit our jobs to go back school (hello poverty!), we let price dictate our destination.
I [...]

With Restaurant Week extended until Labor Day, a few of my friends and I decided to check out Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse for lunch on Sunday.  As I’ve said before, I think a steakhouse is an incredible value for Restaurant Week, especially for lunch, simply because steak can be at least $30 or more, and during [...]

To kick off Restaurant Week, I headed to Park Ave Summer on Monday with a few of my girlfriends.  I’ve raved about Park Ave Winter before and have claimed that it was one of my better Restaurant Week experiences.  As a result, I was looking forward to trying their summer menu, since the menu happens [...]

Yesterday, my friends Katharine, Yael and I decided it’d be the perfect day to visit several bars and drink Riesling as part of the Riesling Bar Crawl.  Problem was, we forgot the World Cup was on, so every time we went to check out a bar, it was either crowded or closed, since it was [...]

Over two months ago now (yikes!), my mom took me out to La Boqueria in Soho for my birthday dinner. Choosing a birthday dinner spot can be stressful, but thankfully the bargain-hunter inside of me made it easy. I had a BlackBoardEats code that was going to expire that day and I simply could not let [...]

I have never found this statement more relevant than a recent Sunday when my two lady friends and I decided to venture across the Brooklyn Bridge towards two full scoops of paradise.
The sunshine played a key role in our enjoyment of the day.  We took the [...]

A few weeks back my former intern Elle told me about a new sushi restaurant that had opened in Murray Hill.  As soon as the words BYOB were out of her mouth, I had plans with my roommate for Saturday night.
My roommate Al and I headed over to Nana Sushi on a Saturday night a [...]

I gotta say, I love this deal! If you go to dinner at Nick and Toni’s Cafe near Lincoln Center, you get a free movie voucher for the AMC Loews near by! Granted, you have to purchase a prix-fixe dinner for $28 that includes an appetizer and entree, but looking at the bigger picture, for only [...]

Have you ever wanted to be on Top Chef, but feared Padma’s judgment and Tom Calicio’s piercing blue eyes?
Well I have and if you’re like me, Gyu-Kaku, a Japanese BBQ joint in the East Village, just might be your heaven.  It has all the exotic charm of Japan, [...]

Fridays when I grew up meant pizza.  So a few Fridays back, we decided to head to Veloce for some pies.
It was around 9 p.m. when we showed up and tables were scarce, but the host said he could squeeze us in.  He made a big deal of putting our table of 4 in ahead [...]
