Two Apps + Three Entrees = $12?

Last week I tried a Thai place, Kati, near Stuy Town with an old co-worker (no, not Laura). We decided on Kati because I previously bought a $25 Restaurant.com certificate for it at 80% off (totaling $2), and a financial incentive never hurts.

The place is small and pretty brightly lit, so it’s not an [...]

You Won’t Be Crabby After City Crab’s Happy Hour Deal

The weather on Sunday was absolutely perfect, so I was determined to find an outdoor spot in the late afternoon/early evening for a quick drink and snack with a friend. But while walking down Park Avenue, I noticed a sign at City Crab & Seafood Company: Don’t Be Crabby - Half-Price Happy Hour. Although [...]
