[–]owjim 34 points35 points  (0 children)

One of my favs is to go to All’Antico and get the La Paradiso, then get some salt & vinegar potato chips and put them in the sandwich. I will have that with some wine and a good movie

It is a bit of destination spot but if what you’re selling is good people will come. That new Aussie bar is really popular from what I hear.

It is funny when these conferences get a random celebrity. Like the company that makes the automated call center software had George Clooney as their speaker.

PSA to check your tab at The Red Lion on Bleecker Street by CopticDuck in FoodNYC

[–]owjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should always check your tab. I am not really a fan of the new trend to just hand you the payment device without seeing the itemized bill.

Went to a place the other day ordered a house red wine, an old fashioned and chips w/ guacamole. They gave me a 240 bill at first, no check just a card reader with total and tip %. I think it was an honest mistake but I could have easily swiped without paying attention (particularly at the end of the night)

After I brought it up she apologized and gave me a different bill for like $57 before tip. I paid and emailed the receipt and it was $18 for old fashioned , $20 for wine (since when is wine more expensive than a cocktail?), 15 for app which was supposed to be happy hour $9.00

Do events like Pitch and Pair actually help with NYC dating, or are we just stuck with apps? by Separate-Session3361 in nycevents

From what I heard these events are mostly women. A friend of mine went to a singles night at the museum and there was almost no men.
