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.
Now Spunto is the [...]

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 [...]

While I greatly admire those who can run a marathon (0r 8 miles for that matter), I’m more interested in standing on the sidelines and cheering the athletes on while drinking a Dunkin Donuts coffee. But Marcony, a very delicious Italian restaurant in Murray Hill, is getting me even more excited for the big [...]

Earlier this month (Laura’s thoughts in italics) we told you about The Dealist’s Taste of the West Village eating event - essentially a food walking tour taken at your own pace. For only $17 guests were able to sample selected foods at six eateries in the West Village over the weekend (Oct. 16 and 17), [...]

Recently two of my favorite coworkers (actually, we’ve all since given our two weeks notice, so now they’re simply two of my favorite friends), decided to have a ladies-only dinner to catch up. Since two of the three (myself included) quit our jobs to go back school (hello poverty!), we let price dictate our [...]

How do I begin this post? The problem I face is that I know my words will not be able to convey how wonderful Ornella Trattoria is, and I need you to understand that this is a special place. It goes beyond the food because you are welcomed into the Viterale family (it’s named [...]

Granted, there aren’t many Bertucci’s in the area (the closest seems to be in Jersey City), but if you do find yourself in the vicinity of one, definitely remember to bring this coupon to get off $5 of a $25 purchase of food.
I have a Bertucci’s near my home on Long Island and [...]

The other day my co-workers and I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and find a spot where we could dine outside. While walking up the streets of Soho, we couldn’t find an affordable spot with outdoor dining (suggestions welcomed), so instead my co-worker Wells directed us to Il Corallo Trattoria, promising [...]

I gotta say, I love this deal! If you go to dinner at Nick and Toni’s Cafe near Lincoln Center, you get a free movie voucher for the AMC Loews near by! Granted, you have to purchase a prix-fixe dinner for $28 that includes an appetizer and entree, but looking at the bigger picture, for only [...]
