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 [...]

My roommate and I went out to dinner at Posto Thin Crust Pizza a week or so ago to celebrate my birthday. Although we’ve walked by it a bunch of times neither of us had ever tried it, so this was the perfect excuse. It had a nice outdoor seating area, but it [...]

Fridays when I grew up meant pizza. So a few Fridays back, we decided to head to Veloce for some pies.
It was around 9 p.m. when we showed up and tables were scarce, but the host said he could squeeze us in. He made a big deal of putting our table of 4 [...]

Every year I look forward to San Gennaro in Little Italy. Why? Well, it’s not just because I love Italian food in general (and I do), but because I look forward to reconnecting with an old flame or two - some of the best pizza and manicotti I’m sure to have all year.

There is no better deal in the city than 99 Cent Fresh Pizza (43rd btw Lex and 3rd) — especially when you’re drunk. The pizza is good, the slices are big, and the service is fast. They’re open 24 [...]

After much deliberation, Laura, Doug, McKenna and I headed over to Andreas’ in Gramercy for dinner and a few drinks last night. I had been there once before with my mom for brunch and I was pleased with the delicious bread basket served and my chicken Caesar salad, so I was happy to try [...]

During a late December trip to New York City to move my daughter, I made it a point to visit another New York City pizzeria from my list of “best pizza places” that I have collected for several [...]

I’m a recent postgrad on a tight budget so I’m constantly on the look out for good deals and cheap meals. Crocodile Lounge in the East Village out does itself daily by by offering a free personal pizza with every single drink purchase. [...]

After hearing how great the original Patsy’s is on 118th and 1st, my roommates, my friend Dave and I decided to see if it really lived up to the hype. We boarded the 1st Avenue bus and climbed up the 30 blocks - which during the journey, the boys discovered there actually is a [...]

I have been trying to go to Patsy’s Pizzeria for weeks now, but haven’t made it up to East Harlem just yet. If there ever was a time to go, it’s today.
Patsy’s, located on 1st avenue between 117th and 118th, is celebrating its 76th anniversary with 90 cent steaks, 60 cent pizza pies [...]
