Ask Monica Blog Dining Tips
I’ve always been one of those people that everyone asks for restaurant advice. I eat out eight days a week and knew there were affordable options in New York City. I wrote 365 Guide New York City so anyone can enjoy the city that I love at a fraction of the cost.
365 Guide includes restaurant deals and bar specials in Manhattan plus seasonal favorites, the best pizza, awesome desserts and more. I hope you enjoy my advice on this blog and all the deals included in 365 Guide.
Please let me know if you’re looking for an affordable way to enjoy the restaurant and bar scene in New York City. I’m happy to help.
Slate New Al Fresco Dining


Slate, New York City’s favorite adult playground, now has fun on the menu inside and out. The Chelsea hotspot debuted its new al fresco dining area, playfully dubbed the Penalty Box. The spacious setup is filled with high-top tables and plenty of games in addition to an oversized moon man that’s perfect for photo ops.
Slate is able to accommodate parties anywhere from 10 to 1,200 guests. The expansive space indoors delivers excitement and games for those eager for friendly fun. Channel your inner child and challenge someone to an extra large-sized game of Connect 4.
