Last week, Caryn (thoughts in italics) and I were invited to dine at Favela Cubana, serving up both Brazilian and Cuban cuisine (not fusion). Located in Greenwich Village, this restaurant surprisingly is set back so far off the street that it reminded me of the a strip mall in the ‘burbs. Favela Cubana has a [...]

I may not be able to pronounce the name of this place, but I’m a sucker for coupons. When cruising through Yelp, I came across a decent coupon for a restaurant and thought some of you may enjoy it. Le Relais de Venise L’Entrecote (yea, you try saying it), a Parisian restaurant in Midtown [...]

Looking for a night filled with laughs without a drink minimum and pricey comedy club tickets? Check out Blackstone Pub in Astoria every Tuesday at 8 p.m. The free show features comics from Vh1, Comedy Central and HBO, and rotates comics every week. In addition to the free entertainment, there are also 25 cent [...]

I love food festivals. Last week, we wrote about our experience at Choice Eats, but if you are looking to hit up a food festival that’s manageable (read: less than 75 vendors), you may want to check out theDealist’s “Tastes of the Village” festival.
This event will be held on May 1 and 2, [...]

Saturday night my roommate and I headed out to dinner with a few friends. Since two of the six of us live on the West Side, we decided to try the dining scene out on the West Side for once. About 20 places were booked for the night for a table of six, but [...]

Apologies for this post being a bit late, as Caryn (thoughts in italics) and I were traveling in London and then had to deal with quitting and starting jobs (ok, maybe that was just me; you’re not too far from the truth there). Anywho, despite how busy the past month has been, one event [...]

I love wine, parties, and Bethenney Frankel.
Looking for something to do on Sunday Funday? Check out Winegasm’s 2nd anniversary (I am a tad obsessed with the name..). Located in Astoria, this bar and eatery is hosting a party from 4 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. on Sunday. There will be wine, cocktails [...]

Well, clearly I was asleep at the wheel when I posted yesterday’s Energy Kitchen deal in our tax freebie roundup. Luckily, blogger Katherine of NYC Recession Diary pointed out that you need to purchase a beverage in order to score free lunch. That being said, please find the updated deal below as well as [...]

It’s like the deal Gods were smiling the day that Caryn was born. In honor of Caryn’s birthday tomorrow (or perhaps really because it is tax day), deals are creeping up all over the place. To give you time to prepare and create a plan of attack, we’re bringing you all these deals a [...]

Walking home from a lovely little lunch at Pete’s Tavern on Sunday with a friend (and Michael Ian Black, oddly enough), we noticed a sign in Organique’s window – Free Coffee Wednesdays. How I’ve never seen this before I do not know, so I assumed it was a one-time offering. I called up [...]
