A couple weeks ago, I was invited to try Aged on the Upper West Side. Aged actually has two steakhouses, one on Broadway and 88th, and one in Forest Hills, and I was honestly surprised how big Aged was – dimly lit, but lots of tables, perfect for both big parties or dates.
We [...]

Last Friday, my boyfriend, Chris, and I decided to go to Christos Steakhouse in Astoria (disclosure: I was invited in to try it). I’ve lived in Astoria for more than 2 years, and have dated my fair share of dudes in the neighborhood, and had never even heard of the place. Located on 41st [...]

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, [...]

As we’ve said time and time again, steakhouses are your best bet for a good Restaurant Week experience, and Rothmann’s Steakhouse and Grill was no exception.
I went Monday night and had a great evening from start to finish. The decor was simple and sophisticated, similar to other big steakhouses, and they started us [...]

The day following All Jacked Up, my roommate and I thought we might be a bit sluggish, so we took the day off from work. Â With Restaurant Week going on, we figured we’d spend the afternoon taking in a nice lunch at a steakhouse, since steakhouses usually provide the best value during this week.

Monday kicked off Restaurant Week, and I spent it with my roommate Al and our friend Alex at Smith & Wollensky. Â Now we’re all looking for a little something different when it comes to this infamous week – Al and I appreciate a good value, while Alex would rather enjoy a meal she couldn’t [...]
