Deal Alert! It’s National Chocolate Ice Cream Day!

Editor’s Note:  Due to a glitch in the system, this deal has been extended to 7pm on June 8.

Honestly, I don’t care if these “National [Food] Days” that we’ve been writing about recently, like National Hamburger Day and National Donut Day, are legit or not. I’m just loving that certain places are celebrating a [...]

We’re Still Stuffed From Choice Eats

Apologies for this post being a bit late, as Caryn  (thoughts in italics) and I were traveling in London and then had to deal with quitting and starting jobs (ok, maybe that was just me; you’re not too far from the truth there).  Anywho, despite how busy the past month has been, one event [...]

Not a real photo from 22 Happy Cups

While walking home from T.J. Maxx on Sunday with a bunch of new bargain purchases in hand, I noticed a new frozen yogurt shop on 6th Avenue – 22 Happy Cups. It just opened in the past week or so and it was advertising a [...]

Broadway + Treats = A Delightful Lunch Break

Yesterday, McKenna, Doug and I ventured off to Bryant Park to enjoy the free summer series: Broadway in Bryant Park. As a musical theater enthusiast (and may I add, I’m what the theater calls a triple threat – I can sing, act AND dance…and toot my own horn apparently), I was really looking forward [...]

Deal Alert! Free Pinkberry on Friday!

The Skint linked to GraceNotesNYC‘s post about free Pinkberry on Friday, 6/26! To compete with Red Mango’s new Tangomonium flavor (which I believe has received lukewarm reviews) Pinkberry is introducing two new flavors – coconut and passionfruit. Personally, coconut is my favorite topping on Red Mango and Pinkberry yogurt, so my tastebuds could be [...]
