Last week I tried a Thai place, Kati, near Stuy Town with an old co-worker (no, not Laura). We decided on Kati because I previously bought a $25 Restaurant.com certificate for it at 80% off (totaling $2), and a financial incentive never hurts.
The place is small and pretty brightly lit, so it’s not an intimate setting, [...]

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 [...]

Once again inspired by Laura, I was in the mood for Thai food. I thought of going uptown to try Osha after reading her review (the BYOB was particularly appealing), but much to my delight I stumbled across a new Thai place of my own to try. While walking around the neighborhood [...]

NewYorkology reports that to celebrate two new Circle Line boats, ingeniously named Queens and Brooklyn, Circle Line will host a free 1940’s-style carnival at Manhattan’s Pier 81 on June 20th. While you’re waiting for your free cruises to the Statue of Liberty, have fun with the activities on the pier including a barbecue and merry-go-round.

The weather on Sunday was absolutely perfect, so I was determined to find an outdoor spot in the late afternoon/early evening for a quick drink and snack with a friend. But while walking down Park Avenue, I noticed a sign at City Crab & Seafood Company: Don’t Be Crabby - Half-Price Happy Hour. Although they [...]

Several months ago I heard about this great deal on the Upper West Side - Sunday at Nonna’s you can eat your way through six courses for only $20! I don’t get to the UWS often, so when I met up with a friend who lives in the neighborhood, I knew I had to finally [...]

On my walk home from work I noticed a small Italian restaurant next to Vezzo with a hand-written sign outside promoting a new deal: $11 for a pasta dish and a glass of wine. I certainly liked the sound of that, so I mentally checked Da’ Giulio as a place to try, but it took [...]

We just heard from a rep at Bar Blanc Bistro that their new brunch menu will start this Sunday, May 3rd. To celebrate its first brunch, all patrons will be able to enjoy a 50% discount on specialty drinks: Bloody Mary, Cucumber Martini and a West 10th Street Iced Tea. I haven’t tried the first [...]

According to The Strong Buzz, new pizza shop Golosi (Park between 41st and 42nd) will offer BOGO specials on scoops of gelato and pizza today from 11 am - 9 pm.  This is supposedly in honor of Tax Day, but I’d rather believe it’s in honor of my birthday.  A throwback to an old lunchtime [...]
