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.
The Friday before Labor Day my ex-coworkers all get out of work early, so we wanted to find a place for a cheap [...]

Well, I guess it is time to announce that my roommate and I are officially moving to Astoria. Don’t worry, Caryn will still live on 89th Street, so there will be plenty of Manhattan content.
While apartment hunting though, my roommate introduced me to the Neptune Diner, out in Astoria by the Astoria Blvd [...]

I’m a big sushi fan so when I can find deals beyond the standard $8-9 for two rolls and soup/salad at lunch, I’m pretty excited. That’s why I love Hane Sushi near Peter Cooper and Stuy Town. With rotating specials each day, you can be sure to get a bargain on delicious sushi.
I’ve [...]

My roommate and I went out to dinner at Posto Thin Crust Pizza a week or so ago to celebrate my birthday. Although we’ve walked by it a bunch of times neither of us had ever tried it, so this was the perfect excuse. It had a nice outdoor seating area, but it [...]

My mom came in for a quick visit on Saturday so I needed to find a nearby place for brunch. There aren’t a ton of options in Gramercy, so I racked my brain as we walked down Third Avenue. After perusing a few menus, we decided on Piccolo Italian Restaurant’s $13 brunch menu [...]

After a good weekend with a great crew up in Saratoga for a Dave Matthews Band concert, my roommates and I decided that a relaxing evening of takeout and tv was in order. We recently received a menu for the grand opening of Guang Ming, a Chinese takeout restaurant on 1st between 91st and [...]

On the way to breakfast one weekend morning, we were searching for a Bank of America. While google maps pointed us in the wrong direction, it conveniently sent us to Bagel Bob’s on 86th and York.
Instead of heading back to our breakfast favorite, Bagel Mill, we decided to try Bagel Bob’s and was [...]

While I love finding new bars and restaurants for lunch or dinner, picking a brunch spot stresses me out. People want to eat cheaply, and more importantly drink cheaply, and for some reason “cheap” takes on a whole new meaning during the earlier hours of the day.
A few weekends ago I had to [...]

As much as I love living in Manhattan, I’m so sick of breakfast costing a fortune. No matter where we go for bagel sandwiches and coffee on a Saturday morning, it always magically seems to cost $20. And more often than not, neither Ben nor myself is satisfied - “this has a weird after [...]
