Seamless Gobbles Up New York Magazine's MenuPages
Back in 2008 New York Magazine made a big splash when it purchased MenuPages for an undisclosed sum, scooping up the site's local food blogs with it. Three years later those blogs are gone (or merged into Grub Street) and New York has decided it can do without the hassle of maintaining up-to-date listings of what local restaurants have on their menu. So they've gone and sold the site to Seamless, the delivery site that used to be called SeamlessWeb (and which last we checked was owned by ARAMARK). But what does that really mean?
Free Coffee in Brooklyn This Week (Queens Next Week)
You know what brightens up a sleepy day like today for us? Free stuff. Especially free stuff that will help us stay awake. So what can we do when SeamlessWeb brings back its free coffee days but say thank you? Last week the free Joe was available in Manhattan but this week it jumped the East River to Brooklyn (it hits the shores of Queens next week).
February is Free Coffee Month!
If you’re in Manhattan and you want a cost-free caffeine boost, you can now strategically plan your day around getting free cups of the "black medicine" for the remainder of the month (weekdays only). Meta-restaurant delivery service SeamlessWeb has launched a promotion at a bunch a shops, including Guy & Gallard locations. There’s no catch as far we can tell; you just need ask for a free cup of coffee. Details, dates, times, and a SeamlessWeb coupon can be found here.
Ordering In: NYC Delivery Services Rundown
New York's called the city that never sleeps, but to many it’s also the city that never leaves its apartment. For the Netflix-and-sweatpants set, there are an increasing number of ways to get all the essentials with just a phone call or a few clicks of the mouse, provided you have a desirable zip code. The best known late night delivery service is Anytime, which provides East Village and Williamsburg shut-ins with the beer and cigarettes they need to make it through that Friday night Wii bowling marathon. But Anytime may be gone in no time, and their East Village phone number has been disconnected.
