Being a student in NYC is difficult: classes, social life, work—when are we supposed to find time to keep up with our self-maintenance? I’ll admit that I’ve attended more than a class or two in sweatpants to hide my midterm-week unshaven legs… Embarrassing, I know.
Enter No Mas Vello: a quick and painless hair removal service that doesn’t break the bank. No Mas Vello, which is Spanish for “No More Hair” has arrived on the Upper West Side directly from Spain. Que bueno para nosotros!
No Mas Vello offers IPL (Intense Pulse Light) hair removal on all body parts, from head to toe, for only $49 a session! On any body part! And did I mention it doesn’t hurt?
As a girl with an Eastern European Jewish background, I am more than familiar with the methods of hair removal: shaving (too time consuming), waxing (ouch!), threading (expensive!), etc etc, yet to no avail, I’ve continued with these methods as I couldn’t find any other option to prevent myself from walking around Manhattan looking like a Yette…

Fellow Value Buccaneers,
The search through the murky culinary ocean that is New York has led me to drop anchor (temporarily that is). I’ve dug my toes into the silky sands of Esperanto. It’s no paradise, but it’s definitely a pleasant surprise. The restaurant mixes Brazilian, Peruvian, and Caribbean cuisines to create what I would consider a “flirtatious menu”. It’s the type of menu on which every dish is intelligently put together in a way that causes your pallet to salivate, but doesn’t shepherd customers to a single dish.
In every restaurant, however, there’s a specific path to squeezing the true goodness out of the experience – some dishes are overpriced and others simply badly executed. Here’s the Esperanto path:
Firstly, dinner there on Mondays is a must. Bottles of wine are half price (I recommend the LAN Rioja 2006 which is priced at 17 on Mondays; an excellent strong-flavored Spanish red) and the restaurant isn’t packed like other days during the week. On weekends (Friday through Sunday) the restaurant becomes incredibly packed and I would suggest making a reservation. However, avoid nights like this, the kitchen is small and easily collapses, causing a fluctuation in the serving time and the overall consistency of the food. Service is generally good, but on nights like these where the restaurant is gasping for air to stay afloat service goes out the window. Not to mention that the specials always run out by 9PM. Stick to Mondays, you’ll thank me later.
