Fabulous Freebie! $50 to Benjamin’s Steakhouse!

I get scared to write these posts because who knows how long this deal is valid for but here goes.

Last week, our reader Ludmilla told me that I could easily get $50 to Benjamin’s Steakhouse in Midtown, a restaurant my former roomie raves about.  All I had to do was like Benjamin’s on Facebook, [...]

Revisiting the Review: A+ Thai Still Delicious

Earlier this week, Caryn suggested all of us girls grab dinner at A+ Thai.  She had reviewed it on the blog a few years ago, but I had never been. Reasons why we decided to give it a try was because 1) it was still BYOB and had only a $5 corkage fee and [...]

An Italian Surprise in Midtown Manhattan

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 [...]

Deal Alert! Tons of Coupons at Crisp!

I wish I worked near a Crisp, simply because I would take advantage of these coupons for lunch.  Every day of the week in August, Crisp offers some kind of coupon deal.  All you need to do is print these coupons and bring them in – sorry, the discounts are not valid on delivery.  Wondering [...]

Restaurant Week Lunch at Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse

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 [...]
