$1 Beer and Free Comedy @ Underground

I went to this awesome comedy night last week.  If this recap doesn’t stoke your fire you must be made out of diamonds, in which case I’ll pawn your ass.  I’d be there again tonight, but I’m learning how to bartend in Queens from a Spainard who worked in Ibiza

Get Discounts @ Groupon with Collective Buying Power

  I didn’t see that slight incline, scuffed my foot, and stumbled upon a website that has a featured discount everyday.   The only problem is, the deal isn’t guaranteed. Other people (ugh) also have to get on board and commit to the deal, hence the name Groupon. Don’t worry though,

Kobe Doin’ Work, People Doing Art

It is supposed to be pretty cruddy today, but that shouldn’t stop you from trying to weather the weather at the 2nd annual dance parade.  But in case you don’t want to go outside and be reminded of how self-conscious you are, here are some indoor activities that are pretty

Get Some Satisfaction

FREE Modelos (Beer, not Latina Models) at Billy Reid Pop-Up Shop Social

I think we should all take a moment to thank black market rogues and permit-less street vendors for the biz model now being used by pop-up shops. The difference is these stores are evading large financial commitments, whereas counterfeiters and shawarma slingers are ducking the armed arm of the law.

Free $13 Cocktails and Lost Season Finale Party

Because it is game 7 of the Penguins/Caps game, I’ll be camped out in someone else’s Laz-E-Boy, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go out.  In fact, you SHOULD go out, because one less moustachioed skeeze will be infesting the nightlife waters.  Here are some safe early options, because if

A Good Lunchbreak: Word For Word with Kristin Chenoweth

Today kicks off Bryant Park’s Word for Word, a series of free events where authors and celebrities who write will speak about their recent projects.  It actually started Saturday with a thing about Children’s Books, but those don’t count. As you eat a”wholesome” salad with chickenless chicken that was just

Secret Science Club at Bell House: Brain and Memory

Science is awesome and the Secret Science Club is awesome.  How can you go wrong with a free lecture attended by people who are choosing to be there, without extra credit incentive?     Tonight, Columbia University cellular neurobiologist (boner!) Ottavio Arancio will drop some knowledge about the molecular basis of
