If you are in Astoria and looking for a date spot, look no further than DiWine. I went to DiWine last Monday, and this wine bar was pretty quiet (I’ve heard it gets busier especially towards the weekend). The cool thing about it being kind of empty was that [...]

Deal Alert! It’s Back - May Meze Month!

By Laura, on May 7, 2010, 1:29 pm

Last year's meze that we enjoyed

Last year, Caryn and I were invited to try out Pera, and we absolutely loved it. I’m happy to report that the restaurant’s meze deal is back. This May, you can enjoy 3 mezes (think 3 appetizers) for $9. Some of our favorites last year included [...]

Wine on Wednesday’s - Vero’s New Wine Tasting Course

By Caryn, on April 7, 2010, 1:41 pm

To continue Vero’s wine tasting offerings, the midtown location only (53rd and 2nd) is hosting Wine on Wednesdays - a wine sampling every Wednesday evening through April. For $35 you’ll get to try four to six wines and light hors d’oeurves (e.g., cheese platter, paninis, bruschetta) from 5-7 pm (RSVPs are recommended).

Vero’s Wine Course This Weekend Benefits Chile

By Caryn, on March 5, 2010, 7:20 am

If you’re like me, you’re a fan of wine but not quite educated on the topic yet. That’s why I love wine tastings and courses. This Saturday (if you’re not at Hoboken’s St. Patrick’s Day) you can take a Wines of Argentina and Chile course at Vero Midtown or Uptown for $65, with [...]

An Intimate Lunch For Two

By Caryn, on November 18, 2009, 11:50 am

As we told you about a few weeks ago, Ayza Wine & Chocolate Bar is having a Facebook promotion - become a friend of the restaurant on Facebook and you can get a glass of wine or sangria for free. Free booze and food will always draw me in, so I friended them, as [...]

Deal Alert! Free Glass of Wine/Sangria When You Become a Facebook Fan!

By Caryn, on November 3, 2009, 6:52 am

Per usual, I was on Facebook for a bit today and saw a deal pop up on the sidebar. These can sometimes be annoying, but in this case I was intrigued. It was a message about Ayza Wine & Chocolate Bar offering one free glass of wine or sangria if you become a fan [...]

Deal Alert! - Bar Blanc Bistro Extends its Deal

By Caryn, on April 20, 2009, 2:50 pm

Good news, kids. Last week we reviewed Bar Blanc Bistro‘s “limited-time only” deal: 50% off cocktails, beer and wine by the glass or carafe, as well as the bar food menu. Lucky for you (and for me, so I can return), Dealfeed has just reported that the deal is now extended indefinitely! Go check [...]

Cute Spot for Some Wine and Small Plates

By Caryn, on March 25, 2009, 7:31 am

My friend (and ex-coworker) and I attempted to try out the new ‘inoteca spot in Gramercy a few weeks ago, but the 1+ hour wait at 7:30 on a Wednesday night deterred us. Instead we ended up at Cavatappo a few blocks north. Andrea had been to its uptown location before and recommended it, [...]

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

By Laura, on January 13, 2009, 7:56 pm

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 [...]

East Village’s Moulin Rouge Wine Bar

By Laura, on November 7, 2008, 11:58 am

Guest Post By Caryn, Gramercy Correspondent

If you’re looking for a good wine bar, look no further than the Bourgeois Pig in the East Village (7th Street between 1st Ave and Ave A). Its cozy and intimate atmosphere with dim lighting and velvet couches makes it an appealing change from a lot of [...]
