Murray MacGregor’s [+ Routine Check Up +]

DEALS:

Sunday: Win a Beach Cruiser bike for the kid! Grab a $3.50 Summer Beer on Tap (Blue Moon, Sams) for yourself

Some gypsy jacked my stellar blue/green Mongoose mountain bike when I was in 6th grade. That moment still haunts me to this day– dad talking to the law; the law patting me on the head as tears began to flow from my cheeks. To say the least, this little Dr. in residence was quite sad. I mean, my dad eventually bought me a sweeter bike, but those days on the Mongoose were unforgettable. Don’t let this happen to you kids. Stock up on bikes.

Start by going to Murray MacGregor’s and winning one on Sundays.

Ride on

David Burke’s Fromagerie

Fromagerie: I think it means the butter bucket in French. But this place is far from a bucket– you will tickle your taste buds even though you may be emptying your wallet.

Apart from its elegance and high price,  the Fromagerie came through, surprising me with some (relative) deals.

DEALS:

Tuesday: BURGER NIGHT! Burg and wine, 20.09. (Party like it’s two–oo–thousand nine!)

Specifics: Enjoy a glass of house wine or bottle of beer with a 10oz Cheeseburger. Sit upstairs with the live music or at the bar. MAKE RESERVATIONS, fills quickly. 732 842 8088

Friday Lunch, 11:30AM t0 2:30PM:  3 Course Prix Fixe, choose any appetizer, entree, and dessert, $24.95

Sunday Brunch, 10:30AM to 2:00PM: 3 Course Prix Fixe, choose any appetizer, entree, dessert, $20.09

What’s Your Beef

No deals. Good beef and seafood. The woman with white hair is really nice.

Barnacle Bill’s

I was bummed to hear that they had no deals, but when a burger costs about $7 and is bigger than our national debt, maybe having a lot of deals isn’t that necessary. With a floor covered in peanut shells, horny sea captain wisdom lining the walls, and Andies candies  for you upon your exit, the ambiance makes up for the lack of deals.

Hey! What am I saying, I’m the Deal Dr.! You can always have deals.

P.S. Be careful of the steak fries, they are hotter than Megan Fox…in a bubble bath…with no bubbles.

Murphy’s Tavern

What a place. Childhood play was reserved for manhunt and kick the can on our block. We always heard of this place called “Murphy’s” down the street, near the dock. A bar in a basement? That’s weird… We went back to throwing acorns at cars.

Now, all growed up,  instead of escaping from jail, we escape to Murphy’s down the street.

DEALS:

I think it’s $2 drafts during a yankees game. I don’t need to post a schedule because when is there not a yankee game on. And when is a beer ever two dollars. This is a deal I like.

.50$ off drinks during happy hour, 4-7. Not much of a deal, but I’ll take it

Bucket of Coronitas (5), $10

Pinchin’ Pennies

I’m low on dime, but I still want to go to the local establishment and sample their wares. I love a good deal wherever, whenever–the thrill of the deal is as exciting as the beer and pizza I am consuming (i’m amused easily). As a college grad, I am a pro at consuming beerpizza and want to continue at the cheapest rate possible. Which brings me to my hometown, where there is a bar for every 1,000 residents. Not bad if you wanna get sloshed. I haven’t (yet) bar crawled in Rumson, but I will start there in my quest for deals. So let it begin. The Dr. is in and ready for “work.”  Hopefully, I’ll be surprised.

BTW, if I miss any deals/bar/restaurants or if find you find something that strikes your fancy, PLEASE comment. Help keep me on my game.
