A Catholic, A Half-Jew and a Jew Walked Into a Deli…

A few weeks back, my roommate and I were craving a good Jewish deli sandwich all weekend - it may have been the fact this was around Hanukkah (and yes, I’ve been saving this post for quite some time).  So Sunday night, with our neighbor/friend Doug in tow, we headed over to the 2nd Avenue [...]

Deal Alert! Ladies Nights = Free Drinks for Ladies!

Ladies, we’ve reported on Bar XII’s free open bar each Wednesday from 8-9pm (open to our gentlemen friends too, which is a plus), but we have a few other options for you to score free drinks.

Disappointing Meal at Da’ Giulio

After taking over an hour to get to my apartment on 34th street from 125th, my family was hungry, cranky and tired.  We headed to Vezzo, in hopes to get some delicious pizza, but with a half hour wait, we decided to head next door to Da’ Giulio.  If you are tight on time and [...]
