Shoes For Crews
category: Featured0 comments
Working in the restaurant industry you are often on your feet anywhere from 8-10 hours a day. Foot problems are commonplace among waiters. If you're experiencing restaurant-induced foot pain or just can't get traction as you rush to turn your tables, we recommend "Shoes For Crews," a brand of non-slip footwear designed especially for restaurant/hospitality professionals. The styles offered by S.F.C. vary. They carry athletic shoes, pumps, professionals, clogs, and steel-toed boots. Their prices are reasonable, ranging from $27-$77.
A new pair of work shoes is always a worthwhile investment for anyone in the industry, and it's not worth getting spaghetti sauce on your Pradas.

Angel Champagne
category: Featured0 comments
With Mariah Carey being the latest celebrity to endorse an alcoholic beverage, Angel Champagne, one has to wonder, does the world really need this? Out of morbid curiosity, we visited the Angel Champagne website, and, of course, there were no tasting notes available, only video clips of rappers drinking Angel’s bubbly in its signature platinum. After a little more research, we discovered that back in 2006, Mariah invested in Mendocino County and bottled her own Mariah zinfandel. Angel Champagne was born 12 yrs ago, and it’s blended and cellared in Reims France and will be made available later this year to the most discerning of individuals (douchebags). All we can say is best of luck with that. One thing for sure is the champagne is way overpriced; you might shriek like Mariah when you get the bill. We can only sit and wonder what's next... Timber Lakes Cab? Mad Donna Shiraz? Rhianna Rosso? We hope this is a trend that doesn't continue.
Winter Restaurant week 2010
category: Featured0 comments
This year winter restaurant week starts on the 25th of January through February 7th with a roster of over 260 participating restaurants. Prices are $24.07 for lunch and $35 for dinner. One thing's for sure, we will work more doubles but with this economy we can't complain. A little boost in reservations will go a long way. This year there will even be a restaurant week soup truck offering an extensive soup menu from 20 of the tastiest winter restaurant week participants. To find location of the truck, follow @nycgo on twitter for updates.
