We wrote a blog about doing New Years Eve on the cheap and later found this event, which is the cheapest of all. Union Hall, at 702 Union near 5th Ave is hosting a special edition of it’s “Karaoke Killed the Cat”. Singing, dancing, drinking, and all for a five buck cover. Can’t beat that. […]
We heard about this Mexican Cantina possibly opening at 276 Smith Street, formerly Arthur. It’s official. Mad Dog and Beans is open at this Carroll Gardens spot. The place, which is also located in the South Street Seaport, gets mixed reviews. We’ll take this quote from nymag.com as a good review though. They say “despite […]
We know New Year’s Eve can get expensive, with many places having cover fees of $100 or more. We found a few places in the neighborhood having celebrations that won’t cost you a crazy amount. The Bell House’s Epic Party should be tons of fun. It’s a great venue. Not super cheap, with a […]

The highly anticipated restaurant at 412 Court street has been open for a few weeks now and is getting great reviews. The menu is similar to Battersby, as it is the same owners, split between a tasting menu and a la carte that’s sectioned into raw, first, second and third. Nice to have an alternative […]
We wanted to remind everyone that The LeFrak Center at Lakeside, an outdoor skating arena in Prospect Park, is schedule to open today. We’ve been waiting for this for a long time and can’t wait to check it out. There is supposed to be open air skating as well as a rink with a roof, […]
For many, this weekend will be used to tie together some loose ends before Christmas rolls around. One of those loose ends is usually finishing up gift shopping. This Holiday Market in Cobble Hill has over 20 vendors selling a variety of possible gifts this weekend. Sounds promising. We’re going to check it out and […]
