I love burgers. I love beer. I love them even more when I get them at a discounted price. That’s why I’m so infatuated with The Brews Brothers on the UES.

In the bar-wasteland around my office, a very welcome addition has been Whiskey Rebel on 28th and Lexington. Curry Hill doesn’t seem like a natural spot for such a bar, and isn’t, but I think that’s why it works.

Like day drinking? So do we. That’s why we’re eagerly anticipating this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl taking place Saturday, March 13th. We’ve done the Cinco de Mayo pub crawl in the past and last year’s St. Patrick’s Day pub crawl, and trust me, they never disappoint.
Cheap drinking? Check [...]
