NYC – Day 1

Friday, February 8th, 2008

Jonas and I took the red-eye flight on Virgin America Wednesday to New York City. We arrived in the early AM, and walked to terminal 2 to locate Corliss; that merely took 40 minutes. What a trek that was!

Before picking up Nick, Regina took us to flushing where we enjoyed cheap Chinese food! Yum. Afterwards, we picked up Nick only to get more food in Chinatown. And then it was time to check into the Grand Hyatt Hotel, and Corliss, me, and Jennie rushed over to Xanga to meet up with John and company while the boys rested up at the hotel. We got ourselves some Xanga t-shirts courtesy of Xanga. Thanks!

After running a few errands, it was time to explore the city. Our first stop was the St. Patrick’s Cathedral followed by the Rockefellar Center. We stopped by Dean and Deluca for some beverages on the way back to the hotel.

We were pretty pooped so we slept till we had to rush off to Avenue Q while Doug waited for us. And then we met up with Sam for some good dinner! Yum. We attempted to “party”, but we were so pooped that we just called it a night around 2am.

Experience CozmoDeck – $15 off your Bill at Participating SF/LA Restaurants

Friday, December 21st, 2007

I was doing last minute online shopping, and I was trying to figure out what to get my brother and his girlfriend aside from the Jersey Boy tickets, I stumbled upon CozmoDeck. What the hell is this?

Basically it’s a collection of 52 participating San Francisco or Los Angeles swanky restaurant gift cards. Each card has a $15 coupon off the entire bill (you have to spend $50 or more though to use the coupon). And if you use coupon code “af” you get 10% off your purchase.

For $65 you can customize your deck with any 52 restaurants from the list, but personally I think the $30 one is a better deal! I’m excited to get it, but I’ll probably have to give it to my brother and his girlfriend late since they still have to ship it to me. Boo.

And if you’re in the New York area, I know they have the cityshuffle which is a similiar concept, but more options.
