Tribe Taco Tuesdays is back! Jarobi White, chef and member of hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest brings the ultimate after work happy hour back to Bed-Vyne Cocktail this summer, serving up an eclectic mix of food and beats in Brooklyn. More info @ EATS, RHYMES & LIFE

There’s no better place in the summer than the city. Seriously, what could be better than rooftop parties, refreshing cocktails and hanging with your friends in the best city on earth? Yep, pretty much nothing.

Oh wait, how does hanging with your friends on a rooftop while getting that cocktail for $4 all week long during NYC Cocktail Week sound? Yep, sounds pretty good.

So without further ado, let us introduce you to NYC Cocktail Week, the newest and coolest event to hit the city that’s brought to you by CBS New York and Foursquare, and the only one that lets you enjoy 5 days of $4 deals at your favorite bars and restaurants throughout Manhattan.
