Last week I was invited to a burger tasting at Village Pourhouse on 11th and 3rd Ave. The tasting was a media event to debut the bar’s new line of burgers. If you don’t have a blog but do have an affinity for burgers, you can still get to sample these new burgers at [...]

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 [...]

Caryn and I enjoying a smoothie last winter
We’ve enjoyed smoothies at Xoom in the past, and to celebrate its first birthday, this little shop on 7th between 1st and A will be offering 50% off its products tomorrow. Enjoy goodies like oatmeal and smoothies at half-off! In addition, there will be giveaways [...]

If you are thinking about ordering lunch today, consider ordering from Kool Bloo. Why? With every minimum $10 order, you’ll get a free extra thick milkshake with each order with the code MILKSHAKE. You can choose from vanilla, strawberry or chocolate. But wait - if you’ve never ordered online before, you’ll save 25%. If [...]

Recently moving to the city has made me somewhat frugal, but I’m ok with the title. I’ve found better ways to save my money rather than splurging on $15 lychee martinis and just mediocre bar food. Now, when my friends and I are looking for a spot where drinks [...]

After a day of classes, I was making my way to Trader Joe’s to get in some cheap grocery shopping before heading home. I hadn’t eaten in about 6 hours and I was getting really hungry, but I only had $2 in my wallet. I had limited choices, but I was happy to see [...]

Laura recently wrote about her experience at 16 Handles, and I must say, I really like the neighborhood hot spot because it allows you to have complete control over the quantity of your fro-yo and toppings, and thus the total cost since it’s on a “pay for what you buy” model. I’m liking 16 [...]

A couple weeks back, I made the trip to 16 Handles with my old roommate Crystal. If you aren’t familiar, 16 Handles is in the East Village on 2nd Ave between 9th and 10th. Unlike other fro-yo shops, 16 Handles gives you full control of making your sundae, and charges you by the weight, [...]

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 [...]
