1. Show off your patriotism by wearing an ensemble of our nation’s colors.  Put on your sequined red leotard you wore for your Rockettes’ audition, the sparkly blue top hot you stole when you did A Chorus Line in summer stock, and your shiny white character shoes that you’ve never had a chance to wear, and [...]

I’d like to remind everyone of simpler times, times before TheCallboard.com existed.  I know it’s hard to remember so far back, it may be difficult to even remember what you DID before TheCallboard existed, but come on, it was only a few months ago… Back in those days of yore, I used to run a [...]

Despite the fact that it snowed yesterday, spring is officially here.  And that means it’s time for SPRING BREAK!  Cut to: attractive coeds lathering each other up with sunscreen, a surfer catching a ten foot wave, a bartender garnishing a frozen drink with a pineapple slice. Even if you don’t have a sugar daddy to [...]

Valentine’s Day is steadily approaching.  You’ve got an outfit (your cruise-ship audition garb), you’ve got the date (the girl you met at that on-camera workshop), but you have no idea what to do.  As a starving artist, you can’t afford the $150 per person prix fixe that most restaurants are offering.  So going out somewhere [...]

People go gaga over Groupon, but Restaurant.com is where it’s at: a website that sells amazing coupons everyday to literally thousands of restaurants, 298 in Manhattan alone!  There are different levels of discounts, but the usual is a $25 gift certificate for $10, or a $100 gift certificate for $40. I discovered Ivo & Lulu [...]

Picture this: Lines out the door and around the corner, crowds of attractive twenty-somethings clamoring to get in, wine served in little plastic cups. The hot new club in Meatpacking? Nope. Trader Joes: the best and cheapest place to get groceries (and wine) in NYC? Yep. I would never wait in line to get into [...]

This coming week is Restaurant Week.  The official dates are January 24- February 6, making it in actuality more of a Restaurant 2 Weeks than the singular. For those of you not familiar, Restaurant Week is a week in which pretty expensive restaurants serve relatively-not-as-expensive 3-course meals, $35 for dinner, $24.07 for lunch  (They’re really [...]
