Since I’ve been babysitting on the UWS, I’ve become more curious about the all of the famed restaurants on that part of town. But being on a student budget, I usually can’t justify the prices on the menus. However, a little MenuPages research for a cheap burger brought me to Fortago Burger Bar on [...]

When I moved to the Upper East Side, I knew I had to scout out a few staples: my new pizzeria, bagel shop, Thai restaurant and sushi restaurant. Those are my “must haves.” While it took a few tries for me to find my new Thai spot (posts on that journey to come), I [...]

I really wanted to settle in last Tuesday with a big cheese pizza and Home Alone, but when I saw there was a new Thai place in the neighborhood, I couldn’t help but try it. FUSE is a new Japanese/Thai spot here in Murray Hill on 2nd Ave between 34th and 35th. Unfortunately, I [...]

I like to think it was a sign from God. As my roommate Alex and I opened the door to our new apartment in Murray Hill, a flurry of take-out menus attacked us. One, however, stood out - a Chinese take-out menu that offered combination dinners for under $7.
Now, I love a good [...]

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 [...]

It’s always a bad feeling when you know you’re going to be at the office for the long haul, so instead of kidding myself into thinking that I’d get out at a decent time, I sucked it up and ordered dinner a week ago, cause I knew I was probably not going to leave [...]

After eating breakfast last weekend, the boyfriend and I decided to take a leisurely stroll up 1st ave. We came across a sign for hot chocolate made with milk, and as hot chocolate fans, decided to stop in for a quick cup. And that’s how we stumbled across delicious little cream puffs at Choux [...]

I love Mexican food - it’s one of my top favorite three cuisines (Italian and Thai being the other two) - but I can’t stand places like Chipotle, Qdoba or Moe’s. I think the food’s nasty and I always end up with vicious stomach pains after [...]

When I moved to the UES, my co-worker Lauren warned me about a cheap little Mexican joint at 90th and 2nd. As someone who loved Thursdays in college because I could get 2 tacos for 2 bucks at 2pm, I knew I had to keep this Mexican place at the top of my “must [...]
