Deal Alert! 3-Course Brunch + AYCD Sangria for $19!

By Caryn, on February 3, 2012, 6:16 am

Interested in a great brunch this weekend? We’ve reviewed a number of places here, but the brunch special at Don Pedro’s recently caught my eye: $19 for a 3-course brunch AND all-you-can-drink sangria (while you eat, so you can’t linger for hours).

I’m not sure if I’d want to eat so much food while tossing back bottomless drinks, but [...]

AYCD Brunch For Under $20? Yes, Please!

By Caryn, on January 25, 2012, 6:04 am

I don’t do brunch too often, but when I do I want to be sure it’s a good time. Some of my favorites include Calle Ocho, Sunburnt Calf, and Van Diemens (have we really not written about Calle Ocho and Van Diemens yet?!). I went with two friends over MLK weekend and Calle Ocho [...]

20 Oz Beers For Less than $4? Sign Me Up!

By Caryn, on December 21, 2011, 7:06 am

I’m always interested in exploring new bars in the neighborhood, so I headed over to Kinsale Tavern on Friday night with my boyfriend for some drinks and bar food. It was anything but rowdy on a Friday, but that actually suited us just fine because we wanted to talk and be able to hear [...]

Kale Never Tasted So Good

By Caryn, on December 15, 2011, 6:19 am

A while back I went with my boyfriend’s family to dine at E & E Grill House. Now for full disclosure, his family knows the owner, but let’s just put it this way, if I didn’t like it I simply wouldn’t write about it.

I was looking forward to our lunch for two reasons: [...]

Sometimes I Need to Just Dance at Bowery Electric

By Laura, on December 13, 2011, 8:06 am

Ask Caryn, and she’ll probably give you a different review of this spot, but if I need to dance it out, the first place I’m going is Bowery Electric.

Frankly, it has everything I hate – a line to get in, it’s crowded and there’s a special section that is the best spot in [...]

Starting at 6 pm, 25 winter beers will be introduced to the bar and available for purchase until they [...]

If you’ve seen me at all in the past month, I’ve raved about Harry’s to you. Frankly, I think it’s one of my favorite brunch spots. Here’s why:

1). The price: No matter what you order, Harry’s includes all you can drink Kir Royale, Blood Orange Mimosas and Peach

Great Beer Special, Okay Wings at Dillingers

By Laura, on December 5, 2011, 7:59 am

For years, I had been reading about a $10 pitcher and 25 cent wing special every Tuesday at Dillingers here in Astoria. Dillingers is a little big off the beaten path, on 30th Ave but around 46th Street.

My friend and I arrived on Tuesday around 8pm and it was packed. I initially thought [...]
