There are a couple of Mexican restaurants within a three block radius of my apartment and I still need to check them out, but so far Sabor A Mexico has won my heart (there’s also an East Village location). I went a few Fridays ago and was surprised that my [...]

I’ve heard a ton about Two Boots pizza over the past few years (and we’ve even shared some Deal Alerts), but for some unknown reason I had never been there before. That changed a few weeks ago when my boyfriend discovered there was one a few blocks from me and insisted that we go.

La Maison du Chocolat is celebrating its 20th anniversary tonight, and what better way to party than with complimentary dessert and pastry tastings? Swing by the Madison Avenue location at 78th Street between 7pm and midnight and sample chocolate tarts, chocolate mousse, macaroons, ice-cream and more. The event is completely free and open to [...]

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 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 [...]

Editor’s Note: Thank you for the great response! We’ve already hit our limit but please let us know if you’d like to join the wait list. Surely some people will back out between now and then and we’d love for you to take their spot(s)! And if you did RSVP for you and a [...]

Big Daddy’s is spicing things up a bit and making it even more enticing for patrons by offering daily deals Monday-Friday. The deals are valid all day at both locations, with the exception of holidays, and they all sound pretty tasty to me. If you want to really get your money’s worth, head over [...]

Since moving (back) to the Upper East Side, I’ve been on a quest to hunt out new go-to spots in my neighborhood. Sometimes I get a hankering for pub food, so finding a decent bar with a good burger was something that appealed to me. Everyday I walked by Genesis Restaurant & Bar, and [...]
