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 [...] 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 [...] Guest Post and Photography by Katie Miervaldis, Red Headed Correspondent 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.

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 [...] I gotta say, I love this deal!

Located in Greenwich Village, this restaurant surprisingly is set back so far off the street that it reminded me of the a strip mall in the ‘burbs. Favela Cubana has a [...] Yesterday for lunch my co-workers and I headed over to Chicca Restaurant (formerly L’Ulivo) down in Soho on Spring Street. Our reason for choosing Chicca – it had outdoor tables. We sat down and noticed that there was a price-fixed lunch special, offering an appetizer and entree for $21.95. Given that most of the lunch entrees [...] For the past few months I had been invited to try Don Coqui, a Puerto Rican restaurant up in New Rochelle. One of my friends, Mike, works up there, so with a built-in taxi driver, I decided to take the Metro-North up Cheers! to New Rochelle last week. New Rochelle is located about [...] |
