Who can’t relate to being fired, dumped, or just flat out rejected. UCB Theatre created a night based around comedian Jon Friedman’s book Rejected: Tales of the Failed Dumped and Canceled, hosted by Jon and featuring a panel of staff writers and Editors from The Onion as the discuss material that never made it to print along with plenty of hate mail. Though small, Supermac packs a hearty punch with it’s gourmet mac & cheese’s like the Mac Cheesesteak with shaved steak, caramelized onions, roasted peppers, cremini/shitake, provolone, and white American ($8.25 mini; $10.95 mega). A great place in NYC to get a full-bodied dark beer is at Stout. With a very detailed beer list with descriptions, I’ve never had a bad pint at this bar and restaurant, plus the food menu is American and quite good. Probably the biggest 99-cent store in NYC, Jack’s is three floors of some of the finest values you can find, especially in an overpriced area like Herald Square.
