NYC Restaurant Week Event Changes for Winter 2014

NYC Restaurant Week is a blissful time for frugal New Yorkers and tourists alike.  Many look forward to event, which comes around twice a year in the early winter and summer seasons where restaurants gather together to offer a prix fixe menu at a discounted price.  Restaurant Week has become a popular event and has even expanded to other large cities as well.

 Unfortunately for this Winter 2014 season, NYC Restaurant Week has been delayed due to the Super Bowl being held on February 2nd. Many participating restaurants experience a high volume of consumers during the Super Bowl and felt it was necessary to delay NYC Restaurant Week for a less busy period of time. In the past, the promotion began in mid January and this year it will be pushed until mid February.

In addition to the delay, NYC Restaurant Week will also be a shortened by a week to increase demand and maximize profits for participating restaurants. The promotion began to draw in consumers during a time where tourists less frequently visited the city and now became a very popular event for consumers to attend. This season also includes an increase in price for the promotion. The prix fixe three-course lunch will increase by $1 and the three-course dinner will increase by $3.

Also included in the changes this season is the expansion into outer-boroughs.  The majority of participating restaurants are located in Manhattan, but in the future we will be seeing Staten Island, Queens and the Bronx also taking part in NYC Restaurant Week.

If FDA Says Cheerios is a Drug then I must be an Addict

The FDA is going after General Mills for claiming that Cheerios is "clinically proven to lower cholesterol" without getting approved as a new drug. In a letter to General Mills, the FDA says that the labeling on the Cheerios boxes is "in serious violation" of federal rules and that Cheerios, " may not be legally marketed with the above claims in the United States without an approved new drug application." The letter further states, "Based on claims made on your product’s label, we have determined that your Cheerios® Toasted Whole Grain Oat Cereal is promoted for conditions that cause it to be a drug because the product is intended for use in the prevention, mitigation, and treatment of disease." The Cheerios box states the following : "Did you know that in just 6 weeks Cheerios can reduce bad cholesterol by an average of 4 percent?

Vogue: Huge Hollywood Stars Without a Cover

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are on the cover of the April issue of Vogue. Their photo on the largest U.S fashion magazine created quite a stir on social media when the cover photo was released over the weekend.  Many Vogue readers were upset at the choice of West and Kardashian on the cover and I began researching high profile celebrities that have never been on the cover. There have been many actresses, singers and models that you won’t believe haven’t made the cut! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Amy Adams: This gorgeous lady has had an amazing year in movie roles.  She gave a performance of a lifetime in American Hustle, where she wore some beautiful low-cut gowns for her character, Sydney Prosser.  We would love to see her on a cover! 2.

America So Hot Right Now America

Most will know the title of this post is Reminiscent of our beloved Mugatu 's immortal words, "Hansel... So Hot right now... Hansel." Barack and Michelle Obama have been welcomed everywhere they've been so far in this European tour. The Public Relations face lift for America that most expected to get when they elected Obama is happening right before our eyes. America 's allie's citizens seem relieved that it looks like the US wants to cooperate with the rest of the world, after 8 long years of destructive and stupid Cowboy talk. Technological advances in telecommunications and travel have made the world a much smaller place. It is essential, now more than ever that the world figures out how to work together proper. That is what Barack Obama seems to be reflecting to us at home and the rest of the world. How much easier will it be to have Russia and China as actual allies instead of Frenemies. They might handle North Korea instead of us and the Russians migh
