Yerba Buena Perry: East Village favorite Yerba Buena is expanding to the West this week. Yerba Buena Perry will continue the original's Argentinean fare and delicious, pisco-based cocktails, with a few new dishes to surprise the regulars. Five inventive ceviches will hit the appetizer menu (such as one involving flounder, sweet potato, and popcorn?), as well as empanadas and arepas all under $15. Entrees like the roast suckling pig range from $20-$35. YBP drafts another PDT vet for the cocktails, serving up inventions like the Rumbuck (Brugal, ginger, lime, bitters) and a Blackberry Gimlet. If alcoholic alchemy isn't your style, there is a large selection of tequilas and piscos, and a predominantly South American wine list. 1 Perry St, at Greenwich Ave; West Village; (212)-620-0808
The Ainsworth: Just in time for football season! Most people spend their football season in New York crammed into sticky dive-bars and eating bad wings washed down with Bud Light. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But if you're looking to spruce up your Monday night viewing experience, The Ainsworth is stepping up to offer a little more. With it's soft opening yesterday, The Ainsworth boasts 6,000 square feet and 40 flat-screen TVs, designed so that you'll have no problem with college or NFL games from any corner. Gastropub fare from Chef Dave Feimster is hearty and savory, with dishes like grilled pork chops with apple chutney, wild mushroom pizza and pineapple ribs. Fancy drinks like the namesake Ainsworth (with muddled mint and honey whiskey) will flow in abundance. Owner Matt Shendell says The Ainsworth will be "a first class bar and a visually stimulating décor culminating in the ultimate drinking and dining experience." But that will all have to wait until halftime. 122 W. 26th St (btwn 6th and 7th Ave); (212)-741-0646

The global recession will inevitably entice those of a similar bent to take a bite from the financial carrot of corruption. What's worrying about this case is the fact that the guilty party has served as an executive since January 2006 – long before the term 'credit crunch' had raised its ugly head. Everybody is fighting the recession in one way or another. (Except for rich people – but they don't deserve sympathy.) Part of fighting the recession is handling layoffs, and for some, having to go job hunting. It's never easy, and learning how to be marketing yourself effectively is a must, but with slim prospects, you have to find out how to come up with some cash in the mean time. Some have moved back in with their parents, and many find odd jobs to earn a little extra. Don't give up searching – ever. You can't give up looking. It's hard to cope with fighting the recession with no installment loans to back you up, but don't stop the good fight.http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/08/11/fighting-the-recession/
