New Apartment, New Chinese Spot

I like to think it was a sign from God. As my roommate Alex and I opened the door to our new apartment in Murray Hill, a flurry of take-out menus attacked us. One, however, stood out - a Chinese take-out menu that offered combination dinners for under $7.

Now, I love a good [...]

Cheap Combination Chinese Dinners on the UES

After a good weekend with a great crew up in Saratoga for a Dave Matthews Band concert, my roommates and I decided that a relaxing evening of takeout and tv was in order. We recently received a menu for the grand opening of Guang Ming, a Chinese takeout restaurant on 1st between 91st and [...]

Sometimes Being Inexpensive Just Isn’t Enough

Okay, maybe it’s not the most authentic sounding name for a Chinatown dumpling restaurant, but after reading several reviews about how about how Vanessa’s Dumpling House served up some of the best tasting and least expensive dumplings in town, I had to check it out.

Chinatown NeverVisitingAgain

Last night in the snow, we decided to order in from Chinatown East, a Chinese/Japanese/Thai restaurant on third avenue between 92nd and 93rd. Honestly, the fact that it served cuisine from all over Asia probably should have been the first red flag. A friend and I decided to split Chicken Pad Thai, and we [...]

$2 bucks a taco? Am I still in Brooklyn?

When I moved to the UES, my co-worker Lauren warned me about a cheap little Mexican joint at 90th and 2nd. As someone who loved Thursdays in college because I could get 2 tacos for 2 bucks at 2pm, I knew I had to keep this Mexican place at the top of my “must [...]
