With the cold Winter among us and parks closed, it’s easy to fall in a rut and hibernate. That’s where we come in. One can’t simply gorge without working off the calories right? Well, one can. One would just be a fat bastard, that’s all. Here’s some pump-you-up music to get you going… Continue reading
Yes, it is that time again. This time 20 days of discounted menus for all you bargain hunters. Below are our recommendations which we hope will prove useful to you. Some restaurants did not post their RW menus, but such is life. Your mileage may vary in terms of Lunch/Dinner, so please check accordingly. We feel the selection is much thinner than years past, but I guess you can still save a bundle if hitting multiple venues. Oh yeah, don’t forget to redeem your $20 off by using your AMEX. You can register by clicking on the pic above. Feel like we left something out? Comment below.

Could there be any better way to celebrate the launch of a denim collection than with tacos? Uh, yeah. Clearly not, which must be why Gap is the latest corporation with a food truck, the groan-worthily named “Pico de Gap,” which just rolled into town (see Twitter for locations). The Katie Lee–designed tacos go for just $1.69 for two, with a drink, (they’re free for anyone with a same-day Gap receipt), and also come with a $20 off coupon for the 1969 denim collection. At those prices, there’s definitely time to gain a few pounds before the coach departs NYC September 30, necessitating new jeans. Gap, we’re on to your insidious plan. The truck will also rove San Francisco, Chicago and L.A.; see Facebook for locations.

Eat Drink Local—including the Challenge, the Ingredients of the Day and other weeklong promotions—raises awareness about the bounty of products grown in the region, drives customers to the restaurants and other businesses that feature these products, and raises funds for charitable partners dedicated to regional agriculture throughout the state.
Quiznos has these new printable coupons (comprised of generous offers) for June and July (Exp 7/10):
No, the crappy drink they call smoothies at McD’s don’t count. We were unamused by those. Instead, check out our Ultimate (and timeless) Kickass Smoothie or if you are feeling trendy, check out what the folks at The Family Kitchen have to say about 5 fruits you should be using of this Summer. If you haven’t invested in a VitaMix, you might want to do so. Our Magic Bullet expired after 5yrs of heavy usage and gave us an excuse to get one. At 2 HP, one of our coworkers told us, “Your blender has more horsepower than my lawnmower”. True story.
Note that this event is invite only. We’ll be there for all the festivities.

This Memorial Day weekend, get VIP access to the most awesomely non-romantic picnic of all time: Brewers’ PicNyc, a two-day takeover of Governors Island by the Pig Island/Meatopia guys, bringing together dozens of craft breweries — from Brooklyn to Warrenville, IL’s Two Brothers – plus a smorgasbord of street food (holla back, Treat Truck) and live ukulele and bluegrass music on historic Colonels’ Row. Granted, The Colonel probably didn’t do a lot of rowing after eating all that fried chicken, but still, live music! Continue reading

After all, what’s a foodie event without actual food? Continue reading
