Thanks to The Skint, I just bought $135 worth of gift certificates to restaurants for $19.80. That’s right, not even $20.
Restaurant.com is holding a promotion until July 28th offering restaurant gift certificates for 80% off. Typically they offer $25 certificates for $10 (sometimes $10 certificates for $4 or $50 certificates for [...]

Tomorrow night I’m treating my parents to dinner for their birthdays (they’re back-to-back), so I was checking out a few restaurants on Long Island. If I’m footing the bill for three people, and we like to drink which adds up, then it needs to be a very moderately priced establishment. One suggestion [...]

Several months back, a blogger friend of mine, Mami’s Time Out, shared with me a $50 gift certificate to Bruno Jamais. I completely forgot about it until I came across it the other day, and saw the expiration date was quickly approaching. So I invited my friend Dory out for dinner on the Upper [...]

In the past month or so two coworkers won free happy hours at Public House (the same is true with Turtle Bay). What impresses me about Public House’s happy hour is that it’s free for 50 members of the winner’s party…not ½ off drinks like at Turtle Bay and not $20 all you can [...]

I am a sucker for Ben & Jerry’s. In fact, I enjoyed a lovely scoop of Chocolate Fudge Brownie in a cone yesterday afternoon. Now if I only had held off for another 24 hours, I could have taken advantage of this Buy One Sundae, Get One Free deal. This deal is valid at [...]

Every Monday through August 3, participating McDonald’s locations are offering a free McCafe 8 oz. Mocha or 7 oz. Iced Mocha. This deal is only good from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. while supplies last. Anyone try it in Manhattan? If you know of a location where this deal is accepted, let us [...]

New York Magazine‘s Grub Street compiled 82 of New York’s best burgers…I’m getting hungry just reading the descriptions and looking at the photos. Any thoughts on your favorite spots?
This week Time Out New York published its annual Cheap Eats issue - it’s a great guide for thrifty eaters, and they even break it [...]

Always on the hunt for the best nachos in town, I headed over to the Heartland Brewery at South Street Seaport the other night to try their spin on the classic bar food. I like Heartland Brewery, even if it is a bit generic as a chain, but I especially like the one near [...]

Guest Post By Vivek Sukumaran, Astoria Correspondent
I apologize to those offended by my use of a plate and silverware when eating street food. I agree it's best eaten out of aluminum foil, or in a Styrofoam container and with plastic cutlery. But I didn't have much of a choice, since I was [...]
