Smorgas Chef - I’ll take the Swedish Chef..

When my aunt and uncle came to town this weekend, they were kind enough to treat me to brunch downtown in the financial district at the Smorgas Chef. Smorgas Chef boasts Scandinavian cuisine and has four locations around town.

The restaurant down on Stone Street is fairly small and on a freezing Saturday morning, [...]

Deal Alert! Free Doughnut on Tuesday

Headed to Penn Station on Tuesday (or happen to be in a part of the country where there are Krispy Kreme locations)? Take advantage of Krispy Kreme’s free doughnuts on Inauguration Day, Tuesday January 20.

I’ll Have a Glass of Wine With a Panini on the Side

Guest Post by Caryn Donohue, Gramercy Correspondent

Being the deal-hunting lady that I am, I heard about Vero Restaurant & Wine Bar‘s Monday night special through trusty sites like Yelp.com and Eats.com. This is truly a rare find in NYC - on Monday nights you get a free panini with every glass of [...]

Excuse me, Sir - I ordered the Pad Thai, not the Bad Thai…

Guest Post by Ben Rosenfeld, Astoria Correspondent

I haven’t seen someone butcher noodle dishes this bad since my days at the college mac and cheese trough. We ordered take out from Land Northeast Thai on 81st and 2nd ave last Saturday night and it was atrocious. The pad thai was dryer than sandpaper, [...]

You are charging me extra for sleeping in?

Headed over to Bagel Express this morning on 93rd and 2nd in search of a really good bacon egg and cheese sandwich on an onion bagel. Have to say, I wasn’t disappointed with the sandwich. Bagel was soft and had just the right amount of onion flavor, bacon wasn’t fatty or disgusting, and the [...]

Guest Post By Caryn Donohue, Gramercy Correspondent

According to NYMag.com’s Grub Street blog, Dunkin Donuts will hand out free MetroCards on Monday morning between 6:30 - 9:30 am at several locations. While this isn’t a free food deal, it’s still a nice perk with your morning coffee. Not sure how much each MetroCard [...]

The Ultimate Sundae

Guest Post by Milos Sugovic, Foreign Correspondent

If cookies are your thing, then giant ones are a home run. That’s right, ESPN Zone in the heart of NYC’s Times Square has packed the most sugar for your buck. A giant cookie saturated with chocolate chips, topped with vanilla ice-cream, caramel, whipped cream, and an [...]

College Cafeteria Sushi at NYC Prices

Guest Post by Caryn Donohue, Gramercy Correspondent

I know plenty of people will disagree with me, but I went to Haru Sushi in Gramercy Park a few Sunday nights ago and was not impressed. Granted, I didn’t try a lot on the menu, but besides the edamame, I was quite disappointed in my [...]

Randy Johnson is Uncomfortably Taller Than Me

This weekend, the boyfriend and I headed over to the Sports Museum of America, waaaay downtown (near Battery Park). Since it opened last spring, I have seen it advertised as an “interactive” museum, where you can feel what it’s like for race cars to drive by you and see what it’s like to be [...]

It’s here.

The thought of the most wonderful time of year for many Americans evokes images of sleigh bells, snow and Santa. For me, it involves an appetizer, entree and dessert, all for less than 35 bucks without tax and tip. While the guy in the infamous Staples commercial stocks up on school supplies [...]
