YAM (Yet Another Mave$ave)
Many of you know how much I enjoy going to discount stores to purchase items for the kids and our family! Well, during this season of Kiddie Birthday Parties and the warm up to Picnic Month (Who knew that June is officially Picnic Month?) . . . it is prime time to buy some of the decorations and other things that enhance the fun and frivolity of birtthday and holiday parties and all sorts of outdoor (and even indoor) gatherings!! Because of the blustery weather you might have moved your fun inside but don't let that stop anything!!
So . . . talk is cheap and so are the prices at Discount Mart!!!
Discount Mart is located at 7 West 14th Street, diagonally across from Party City. So many of the party supplies you buy here are really inexpensive -- look at the candles ($1.29 for 72 candles), balloons (8 12" helium quality balloons for $1.29) and even disposable table cloths ($1.49) here and you'll be stunned by their low prices!!
Their telephone number is 646 414-6262. Be aware of their refund/exchance policy. Like many other discount stores, their sales receipt states that there is no cash refund and you can only exchange within seven (7) days of your purchase.
But, let me end by saying that the cashiers are very pleasant!!
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!

Free Summer on the Hudson Events this Weekend -- Irish Dance Festival just on Sunday, Zumba on Saturdays and Tai Chi on Sundays
YAM (Yet Another Mave$ave)
Don't all of these activities sound like a lot of fun?!! As you can see from my Blog, there are frankly so many fun, cheap and free things to do and see in and around New York City, that it's not humanly possible to partake in all of them! But, we do our best and hope you're inspired to also!!
Irish Dance Festival
When is it not fun to learn some new dance moves? I can't think of a time! Besides, the face-painting and children's craft table make this sounds like a great event for the kids!
Zumba
I've heard so many people talk about how much they love their Zumba classes so that's pretty intriguing. The 11 AM class time also seems pretty reasonable!
Tai Chi
Many, many years ago (BK - Before Kids) I took tai chi and it was all the things people had told me it would be -- great for balance and relaxing! It's certainly a fantastic activity -- especially for early birds who can make it there by 8 AM!

Free Comic Book Day this Saturday, May 4th
YAM (Yet Another MaveSave)
Free Comic Book Day is an annual promotional effort by the North American comic book industry to help bring new readers into independent comic book stores. Retailer Joe Field of Flying Colors Comics in Concord, California brainstormed the event in his "Big Picture" column in the August 2001 issue of Comics & Games Retailer magazine. Free Comic Book Day started in 2002 and is coordinated by the industry's single large distributor, Diamond Comic Distributors.
Free Comic Book Day is scheduled on the first Saturday of May. It has often been tied to the release of a major theatrical film adaptation of a well known superhero property, in order to take advantage of the film's heavy promotion and related press about the comic book medium.[1] On Free Comic Book Day, participating comic book store retailers give away specially printed copies of free comic books, and some offer cheaper back issues and other items to anyone who visits their establishments.[2] However, retailers do not receive the issues for free; they pay 12–50 cents per copy for the comics they give away during the event.[3] In addition to comic books, some stores also give away other items, including mini posters for live-action superhero movies, keychains, Green Lantern promo rings, etc.[4]
In its first six years, more than 2000 retailers in more than 30 countries have given away more than 12 million Free Comic Book Day special-edition comic books. The success of the promotion rests with each participating retailer. Most participants agree that Free Comic Book Day has been part of a healthier comics market and growing comic book sales over the last several years.[6][7] Free Comic Book Day has also garnered tremendous press coverage in all media helping the comic book industry.[8]
Artist Jim Lee holding up a copy of DC Comics: The New 52 FCBD Special Edition, which was published specifically for Free Comic Book Day in 2012.
The first event was May 4, 2002, just a day after the opening of the first Spider-Man movie. Linking the event with movies was somewhat controversial, as some believe that it implied the comic book medium was simply a promotional arm of the film industry.[9] However, successful Free Comic Book Day events in 2005 and 2006 did not have specific date tie-ins to comics-related movie openings, proving that the event is more than capable of standing on its own.
When I Googled Free Comic Book Day, Ask.com had this wonderful, full description of the origins and development of this delightful celebration. So, of course, I'm happy to share that info with you below!! Needless to say, a comic book loving family like mine can hardly wait (especially our son) to go to Midtown Comics this weekend to pick up some of these free comics. There are 3 locations of Midtown Comics and my son's research says that they'll all have free comic books.
We're regulars at Book Off and I really like buying the $1 Marvel and DC Comics that Book Off sells all year round (not just one day of the year like this event). But, what's better than a $1 comic book? A free one, of course!! I'm thinking that it will be like the thrill of snapping up those free comic books at Comic Con (just sans the hefty admission price)!
See you in the comic book stores on Saturday!! Enjoy!!

More March Madness and Mirth!!! - Free and Cheap Admission to NYC Museums
YAM (Yet Another Mave$ave)
Happy Beginning of Daylight Savings Time!!
Even though Spring is going to start officially this month, who knows what the weather will be like from day to day? We've already had significant snowfall and frankly, it has been pretty cold! So, why not enjoy visiting some museums (a delightful indoor diversion)?
Here's one of many references online that tell you about the many museums in New York that have free admission. I've been to the National Museum of the American Indian and definitely suggest going to it! It's not fair from Fraunces Tavern and other historic sites and good places to grab a bite. If you're interested in a FREE boat ride, you can walk to the Staten Island Ferry or walk a little bit further to take the ferry to Governor's Island!
Enjoy!

March Madness and Mirth!!! - Uptown Dance Academy Dance Classes
YAM (Yet Another Mave$ave)
March is magical! First of all, tomorrow morning Daylight Savings Time will go into effect!
My daughter and I attended the Uptown Dance Academy Performance of the Black Nutcracker this past Winter and that was definitely a Mave$ave -- the tickets were only $7 per person!!! It was an updated version of the popular holiday classic showcasing their students dancing to Duke Ellington's Nutcracker Suite. This shortened version, including many modern dance moves is really enjoyed by kids!
I was struck by how much the students seemed to enjoy themselves and imagine that this Dance Academy is inspiring to them.

Vanessa's Revisited with a Rave Review!!
YAM (Yet Another Mave$ave)
This is going to be the happiest Before and After story ever!! Before we went to Vanessa's we were two hungry souls! But, After, we were thrilled beyond compare!! We'd found a fantastic new place to eat, we were stuffed to the gills and we'd had a wonderful adventure!!
Oh, would you like to know what we ate? Are you wondering how much it cost? That's reasonable! We ordered the delicious duck sesame pancake sandwich (which only costs $2.50) and an order of shrimp dumplings (8 for $5) and an order of special lamb dumplings for only about $4. Everything was simply scrumptious!
We were able to sit down at a table as soon as we arrived. It was a fairly large round table so we ended up having three different groups of other people sitting with us though our meal but, hey, we're in New York and there are millions of people on this island! We enjoyed the two friendly groups that chatted us up gleefully as much as the quiet couple in between them who were clearly more concerned about eating their food and chatting intermittently with each other.
We are definitely ready to return as soon as possible! Our food was so good that we had to order bok choy, pork buns and a couple more delectable duck sandwiches to bring home for the rest of the family!

The Parking Ticket That Was Not!!
YAM (Yet Another Mave$ave)!!!
If you've been driving around New York City you may have found that Meter Personnel can be fairly diligent about giving parking tickets. I've read articles about some of these employees waiting for the time to expire on meters (those that are still found around the City). When I've watched and read news stories about this, I've been heartened to hear that drivers are supposed to be given a 5 minute grace period to buy the ticket to display in their windshields.
I learned something very interesting yesterday. As my daughter and I walked to buy the ticket to place on our windshield, something told me to turn around to look at my car. Thank you, Parking Angel!! It just so happened that a meter maid had her pad poised to write me a ticket when I let her know we were walking to get the ticket. She informed me that when you're en route to the Muni Meter to buy a ticket, you should put your blinkers on.
Well, I'm here to share that info with you because I wasn't aware of this and I have a feeling Parking Angels are very busy these days!! So, just in case your Parking Angel doesn't alert you like mine did, it sounds like you should put your blinkers on while in transit to the Muni Meter to purchase your ticket.
HPP!!! (Happy Parking, People!!!)

Vanessa's Dumpling House
YAM (Yet Another Mave$ave)
It's that time of day on a Saturday when we are generally ravenous! Because it's the weekend we don't have to adhere to the regular weekday routine. Therefore, like many Saturdays we've been out and about and snacking a bit here and there. But, it's time for a real meal!! So, my daughter and I are ready to try out this restaurant! The two of us were driving around Chinatown earlier today and would have gladly stopped anywhere for a nice lunch (even though it was about 10:15 this morning) but we couldn't find any parking. However, driving along Mott Street made me think about how many times I've been told about this place!! Just recently, it was recommended again and I say tonight is the night to try it out!!
If I was excited about eating at this restaurant before going online, I'm somehow even more enthusiastic now after reading reviews of it on Yelp! There were so many positive reviews!!
Now, I can hardly wait!!

I hope you've enjoyed Valentine's Day, Presidents Day Weekend, the Grammys and the Oscars, etc. since my last post! Can you believe that a number of popular TV shows have already had their season finales? Time flies when you're having fun!
I have to tell you about this Garage Sale!! It starts at 6 PM tonight and looks like a great opportunity to buy some very unusual, reasonably priced jewelry!
A friend of mine sent me information from the blog of Paula Collins, who will be showcasing her jewelry at this Garage Sale at FIT tonight.

Please see a few photos of what will be available at the Garage Sale.
There will be lots of beads and many more styles of jewelry.
Please share the blog with others even if you cannot make it tomorrow. If you
so are so inclined, please follow me online. I appreciate your support.

Hi One and All,
In addition to beads that no longer serve me, I will make earrings and necklaces that range from $35 to approximately to $85. Some of the cuffs will also be on sale for $90. Hope you are able to make it. I accept cash and credit cards. Even if you have no interest in buying at this time, I would love to see your smiling face.
