Celebrating 85 years of cheap hot dogs and fruity smoothies, Papaya King rolls back (way back) prices today and Saturday at their two NYC locations. The restaurants will be selling hot dogs and the brand's Papaya Tropical Drinks for just 32 cents. Dogs can be topped with kraut, NY onions or relish without adding any pennies, but those curly fries are gonna cost you 2017 prices.
River Coyote (BC)
Those in need of about three strong coffees to really get a Sunday going should head to new coffee and wine bar River Coyote, which is launching a Pour Over Sunday Brunch this weekend that includes speciality pour overs with rare beans and fancy apparatus. Alongside the classy coffees, foods like Eggs Benedict over latkes with salmon, Coffee-Rubbed Steak and Egg and healthful Berry Granola Parfait. They also have wines on tap and cocktails, if that's how you roll on the weekends.
The M. Wells Steakhouse space in LIC kicks off a two-weekend Sugar Shack & Pickin' Party with food and music and general merriment. At 1 p.m. on March 5th and March 12th (both Sundays), grab a $75 ticket (contact [email protected] or call 718-786-9060) that buys you six courses from the Steakhouse kitchen in honor of maple tapping season. "Beaver" Nuggets made with chicken, Spit-Roasted Ham, Smoked Salmon with potato pancakes and fried raspberry doughnuts are a few of the courses. Also on the docket: live fiddling, maple whiskey, taffy on snow and...hockey.
