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 [...]

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 [...]

I was invited to try a new taqueria in Flatiron, so on Friday night, my roommate and I headed to Choza Taqueria on Madison between 27th and 28th.
Now, you may have heard of Choza before if you work downtown. There is a Choza down by the Brooklyn Bridge as part of the open [...]

It’s a tradition at work when a new guy starts, we all go to lunch as a group. As the only girl in the office and a lover of restaurants, I naturally am the one to pick the place. This time, I thought we’d try the new Village Lobster and Crabhouse. The restaurant is [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I love Mexican food, so when I was asked to plan a work event, I immediately thought of a great deal I read about at Vamos, on 20th and 1st. All day on Monday, you can get all you can eat tacos and a margarita for $19.
We were seated inside the restaurant since [...]

A few weeks back, my friend Dan (who had the pleasure of living next door to me growing up) was in town visiting from Minnesota, and we were trying to narrow down a place to go for drinks. We decided on Hop Devil Grill in the East Village because it was right in the [...]

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 [...]

Last night we were invited to Exchange Bar and Grill in honor of its official opening (it’s been in a soft-opening stage for a few weeks). Laura had a prior commitment, so I headed over with McKenna (who does our design/tech stuff for the blog) to check out this new place. I’ve walked by it many, [...]
