Cheap Eats Upper East Side: Dallas BBQ for $9.99 for TWO!!!


By far the Dallas BBQ has a fabulous early bird special!!! It is located on 3rd ave between 72nd and 73rd. The attraction for me in the outside seating which is really a plus for any restaurant. You will feel like a King or Queen.

And if you like fancy drinks you can indulge. For ten dollars, yes only $10.00 you can order Margaritas, Strawberry Daiquiris and a wide selection of other fruity fun get me drunk fast stuff conplete with shot.
From Monday to Thursday you can get the special on Monday till Thursdays on the weekends you have to make it before five o'clock.

This fab meal includes a small bowl of really great chicken soup, and a perfectly roasted half chicken with your choice of baked potato, rice, French Fries, and a generous piece of corn bread.

You say it right. That is nine dollars and ninety nine cents for two people ( that is not each) All this for $9.99.) to eat healthy well prepared food in an outdoor setting on the Upper East Side.
I throw in the shrimp cocktail the (small one) with extra huge shrimp and your out of there for under $30.00.

The weird thing is that Dallas BBQ does not serve desert so have a fancy drink instead. And most importantly beware Texas size portions which loosely translated means really really big.

At these prices you can afford to treat some friends to dinner. Above is a pic of my husband Peter G. Pereira enjoying his dinner at our favorite table.

The Sheik parade in New York City



New York City loves a parade. During the coming summer there will be a parade almost every weekend. There will be a Indian Parade, a Israeli Parade, a Greek parade and every other reason to have a parade that you can think of. Today was the first for me a Sheik parade. That's right folks there is a Sheik parade... who knew?
