There are a couple of Mexican restaurants within a three block radius of my apartment and I still need to check them out, but so far Sabor A Mexico has won my heart (there’s also an East Village location). I went a few Fridays ago and was surprised that my [...]

Love this promotion! Want a free coffee? Gregory’s Coffee is asking that its customers bring in a paper snowflake (yes, like what you made in elementary school) and in return, you’ll get a free small coffee.

The Sunburnt Cow is an AYCD New York City brunch institution and its sister restaurant, Bondi Road, is supposed to be great too. Earlier this year the Moo Life Group expanded and opened the Sunburnt Calf on the Upper West Side. Apparently they all serve the same food with the same prices and specials, [...]

Caryn and I don’t see each other nearly as often as we’d like, so when she was by my office the other day, she suggested we meet up for lunch. Since we’re both bargain hunters, Spunto was the perfect spot for a sit-down lunch because of its affordable lunch menu.

This past weekend my boyfriend and I used a LivingSocial voucher to try out the Italian restaurant Cucina Di Pesca in the East Village. We had some time to kill before our reservation and I remembered reading about a happy hour on the website, so we decided to see what it entailed.
Grabbing a [...]

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 [...]

As a contributor to hyperlocal news site Nearsay, I’m invited to check out different events that are part of the site’s concierge program where they reward contributors. When I saw an opportunity to dine at Nanoosh, a Mediterranean establishment in the East Village, I decided to take advantage of this offer.
I headed over [...]

Today marks the beginning of East Harlem’s Second Annual Restaurant Week hosted by the Friends of East Harlem Trolley. The goal of this event (through Friday, Dec. 10th) is to introduce and re-introduce NYC residents to the many dining options in the dynamic East Harlem, and the restaurants make it pretty enticing with unique [...]
