Happy Burger Month: $2 Burgers at Anytime
I know that May is almost over but I figured I had to share this information. As you may or may not know, May is “National Hamburger Month”. Of course each month is deemed national something, and I’m sure this was dreamed up by the people at White Castle but

Foodswings: Cheap Vegan Fast Food in Brooklyn
Cheap vegan fast food? What the fuck? I thought vegan food was all about lengthy meals involving earth tones, tea sipping, deep conversation, and hugs that last just a little too long for comfort. Oh wait, I forgot that it’s not just hippies that are veganing out these days, somehow
