All I Want(ed) For Christmas Was Dinner at Bugatti

Leftovers of my pesto pasta!

A couple weeks back, my boyfriend and I were walking through Astoria, when I noticed a new little Italian restaurant that opened on the corner of 34th St and 31st Ave. The restaurant was cute and had an intimate atmosphere and once I read a review on Why [...]

Spunto Makes a Great Lunch Spot

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 [...]

Cucina Di Pesca’s Happy Hour Delights!

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 [...]

Hole-in-the-Wall Burger Spot Impresses

Since I’ve been babysitting on the UWS, I’ve become more curious about the all of the famed restaurants on that part of town. But being on a student budget, I usually can’t justify the prices on the menus. However, a little MenuPages research for a cheap burger brought me to Fortago Burger Bar on [...]

El Mariachi Makes Great Tacos

I’m not going to lie - I can eat Mexican pretty much for every meal. On Sunday, my roommate and I were hoping to check out the infamous taco truck in Astoria, but when we couldn’t find it, we settled on a new Mexican favorite - El Mariachi.

We went in and sat at [...]

Loving the Sandwiches at Local

For lunch yesterday, my office decided to change it up and instead of our usual Subway run, we went to Local. Local is a little cafe in “South Village” as Yelp calls it. The place is small with about three tables, but if you work in the area, it is great for a [...]

Not Sure if A+ is Top of the Class

Last night I wanted to catch up with some high school friends, so we decided on dinner and drinks. Luckily I walked by Thai restaurant A+ the other day and noticed an ever-so-important sign touting “BYOB, no corkage fee.” Well, that sealed the deal for us.

Located in Midtown, it was an easy location [...]

Affordable Thai Lunch Special in Soho

If you are looking to go out for lunch down in Soho, it can be pretty pricey. Fortunately, my office has discovered Peep Thai, and it has become our go-to whenever we welcome new employees to the office.

For those on a budget, Peep offers a phenomenal lunch special that cannot be beat. For [...]

Donnybrook Brunch is Perfect for Lightweights

After discussing brunch for a few weeks, I decided to meet up with my friend Tim one Sunday for brunch and drinks. Since it was just the two of us, we knew we didn’t need to take advantage of an all you can drink deal, so when we stumbled into [...]

An Italian Surprise in Midtown Manhattan

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 [...]
