I’m not gonna lie - I’m starting a new job next week downtown and worried that I won’t have any friends to ever eat lunch with, especially in my first week. But with the news of Seamless Web’s Delivery Week next week, eating alone at my desk has suddenly seemed much more appealing.
Beginning [...]

I rarely shop online, but when I do, I spend countless minutes (one time even an hour) surfing the Web for coupon codes in hopes that I save a few bucks. Often times, half these codes don’t work and I end up disgruntled (yet still order the item). The other night, my roommate introduced [...]

My roommate and I were in the mood to be a bit adventurous a few weeks ago (I use that term lightly), so we decided to head out into Queens in search for some “real” ethnic food. We love Thai, but decided to branch out just a little and try Vietnamese. After some due [...]

Not a real photo from 22 Happy Cups
While walking home from T.J. Maxx on Sunday with a bunch of new bargain purchases in hand, I noticed a new frozen yogurt shop on 6th Avenue - 22 Happy Cups. It just opened in the past week or so and it was advertising a [...]

This is an interesting one…on Saturday nights, after midnight, you can score 15% off your check at Big Daddy’s Diner just by showing up in your pajamas. I like pajamas and I like discounts, so in theory I like this deal. Problem is, Big Daddy’s can be overpriced so this discount just brings the [...]

I don’t know what it is about White Castle, but many of the guys I’m friends with have these legendary stories about their quests for some sliders. Take my roommate’s brother Joe, for instance (note: he’s the guy with the saxophone). His freshman year of college, he traveled from Fredonia, NY to Cleveland - [...]

Guest Post by Doug Feingold, Columbia Correspondent
In my life, three burger places have been built up to bucket list status. The first, Dotty Dumpling’s Dowry in Madison, WI, lived up to expectations. It was my go-to burger through four years of college, because, let’s be honest, Midwesterners know their grilled meats. The second, [...]

When our friend Trish was visiting the city from Indiana, we decided to check out a Thai restaurant for dinner, simply because she can’t easily get Thai back home. Since she was staying over on 54th and 6th, we headed over to the nearby Topaz Thai, thanks to a recommendation from Yelp.
Topaz Thai [...]

You can enjoy three courses of the diverse ethnic cuisines that Queens has to offer next week for only $25. This deal will be held Monday through [...]
