Blockhead's Will Brighten Your Day

Having a rough day at work?  If you are leaving the office in need of a drink and dinner but don't have a lot of money to spend then head on over to your local Blockhead's for a cold drink and some waist/wallet friendly Mexican fare.

During Happy Hour you can take the edge off with a 12oz glass of refreshing red or white sangria for only $5.50.  If you're willing to splurge on calories Blockhead's also offers $4 frozen margaritas all-day, every-day!


For that extra kick to really brighten your day try the Pink Bulldog.  It is a frozen vodka pink lemonade with a corona mixed in and it's a steal at only $7.50.


Don't worry if you've spent a chunk of your daily calories on a frozen beverage because Blockhead's also offers a wide selection of low-fat, low-carb, and vegetarian options so no matter what your dietary preferences are they've got a meal for you.  

My personal favorite is the Mexican Chicken Wrap.


What we've got here is a gigantic wrap made with a 12inch tortilla (I opt for whole wheat), grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, guacamole, salsa, and cheese.  I usually hold the cheese to save calories but since avocado is a "good" fat (and Blockhead's guacamole is to die for!) I leave it on there. For $9.95 this meal is very budget friendly, especially in NYC, and it's so hearty you can eat half now and save the rest for lunch tomorrow.
