Hit up NYC’s most authentic taqueria, Pinche Taqueria (est. 1973 in Tijuana!), for a one-time-only Cinco de Mayo Reward so big, it might not all fit in your pants. Damn right the following’s all available for dine-in or take-out:
Option 1: Taco Madness! On 4/30 only, pay $1 (that’s right, $1) for five tacos, including chicken, steak, or the protein formerly known as “the other white meat”, pork.
Hell’s yes there will be a mariachi band. Grab the deal right here, right now.
Option 2: $5.50 for any of three combo meals (2 tacos or 1 quesadilla + rice & beans + 1 drink; or 1 Burrito + elote + 1 drink) — basically, you won’t find a more inexpensive-yet-filling combo this side of 40 bags of Combos.
Option 3: $99 for a 1 Month Meal Plan — 1 combo meal per day, for 30 days. That’s a savings of $253, money you can put towards taking out NYU girls who still have normal meal plans!
Nina C and Joolz do a wonderful job every year hosting this event to raise money for a good cause. All in good fun, it doesn’t matter if you’re single or not. It’s all about making new friends and hanging out. Whether you’re a bidder or being bidded on, it’s all gravy! This is a UYE, or Unofficial Yelp Event.
Nina C. says:
It’s about that time and I’m putting a call out for volunteers once again for…
The Annual NY Date Auction to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!
Every year, the auction brings a week of non-stop fun to Yelpland. It brings out the generosity in people, their competitive spirit and the person inside all of us that just loves to have fun while helping others.
So, with that said, we’re looking for this year’s volunteers to be on the auction block. Please note that to be on the auction block, you MUST have a picture of yourself AND at least ten reviews up! You’d also be joining the list of illustrious auction alums. Even yours truly was once on the auction block!
I’m not an energy drinker, but I know some people can’t live without their Redbulls! Jamba Juice has created a new natural energy drink and wants you to try it out today.
Be one of the first 100 customers at Jamba Juice starting at 2pm today and you will get a free can of the new Jamba Juice all natural energy drink. These flavors include strawberry banana and crisp apple. You don’t need to bring any coupon in to get the deal, but keep in mind this is at participating locations, so you may want to call ahead first.

Even with their slightly off-putting location (well only if you don’t work in finance), SHO Shaun Hergatt is one of the most ambitious restaurants in the Financial District and is loved by many food and finance folks. Like most high-end places in the city, they too are trying to find a way to serve all sorts of customers.
The One Michelin Star restaurant will be offering a three course ”Closing Bell” meal from 5:30-10pm every weeknight in their Pearl Room. For $35 a person enjoy a three course meal and if you want to add wine pairings for just $25.

Sakagura cordially invites you to “FUKUCHO NIGHT”!
Fukucho brewery (http://fukucho.info/?mode=f6) was founded in the first year of the Meiji Restoration, 1868, in Akitsu in Hiroshima Prefecture. Akitsu has the oldest sake-brewing history in Hiroshima, stretching back 400 years. Akitsu, which faces the Inland Sea and has a population of about 13,000 people, once had 17 sake breweries, but now there are only three. Hiroshima, however, is still one of the most significant sake-brewing regions in Japan, and is consistently among the top six prefectures nationwide in terms of annual sake production. Historically, the prefecture has always won many awards for its sake, and on occasion has even swept the top three awards in the country. The sake we brew here at Imada Shuzo, called Fukucho, is very representative of this great Hiroshima style. Continue reading
