One of the more random traditions we have as Americans is designating months and days as a national this or that commemoration. Apparently, March is National Irish-American, Peanut, Nutrition, Frozen Food, Craft, and more month. It may be a bit silly, but RFB is in favor of all celebrations. So read on for a selection of some of our favorites.
Life offers many occasions to celebrate, commiserate, or get toasty just because. Although the solo drink is sometimes appropriate, in general it's way more fun to drink with friends. We know footing the booze bill for a group can be expensive, so we're here to give you some pointers for doing it up bum-style.

Despite what you may have heard, most theaters don't have a rule against bringing in food, especially if it was purchased in the same mall as the theater.

Although many of us harbor bitterness toward the big 'ol V-Day, there are a few broke romantics still out there. Forgive the bad poetry, but it’s got to be done:
Chocolate and flowers,
cards and gifts,
use your RFB powers,
to make little shifts,
that’ll keep your lovers,
diving under the covers.
Your pearly whites are critical for slipping past a doorman without paying a cover, negotiating a business deal, and charming your coffee gal into a free grande upgrade. You never want to look straight out of the UK, but oops! Your dental insurance went out the window in the last budget cut. A new, benefits-laden job is nowhere on the horizon, so what's a broke candy-muncher like you to do? Get it for free, of course. Duh.






Alright party people, time to pretend you’re Irish. No, we don’t mean eat only potatoes and flee to America; we mean drink. It’s a rich culture, but we’re doing it American-style. Bust out your green gear and let’s go!
