Brunch at Esperanto
Esperanto’s brunch is one of my favorite destinations on the weekends. If the weather is nice enough it has outdoor seating & they open the outer doors, giving the space the really airy feeling. For $10, you get coffee or tea, a drink (typical brunch fare; Screwdriver, Mimosa, Bloody Mary, etc.) & a dish of […]
Je’Bon
Normally, when I think of sushi, the last place I think to look is along St. Marks as there is so much to choose from in the area , but it was sort of early, so I met a friend at Je’Bon (15 St. Marks near 2nd Avenue). I had been there before for lunch […]
ReCORK
Ever wonder what happens to the cork after you pop a bottle of wine? Odds are it’ll end up in a landfill along with the 13 billion other corks popped annually around the globe. Amorim, the world’s largest manufacturer of natural cork bottle stops is hoping to put an end to this waste. In 2008 […]
Brunch at Back Forty
So I’m sitting (drinking) at my local watering hole (7B) a few Sundays ago, minding my own business & a friend asks me if I wanted to go to brunch. I said no, because I was more interested in getting hammered, but then he uttered 3 magical words; Pork Jowl Nuggets. Needless to say, moments […]

Caffe Pepe Rosso Closes
Caffe Pepe Rosso (127 Avenue C @ 6th street), the East Village outpost of the popular Sullivan St. Italian eatery has shuttered & now become Cotto Restaurant & Caffe. I remember seeing the listing on Tower Realty some time ago, but I never thought anything of it. Passing by on Sunday, I saw that the […]
Felix Ortiz vs Salt
Assemblyman Felix Ortiz (or as I like to call him; That Raving Lunatic) is proposing legislation that will ban the use of salt in New York restaurants. Offenders could be fined up to $1,000 for the merest hint of Sodium Chloride. Americans consume 50% more salt than the daily recommended amount, with most of that […]

EZ Cracker?!?
I don’t know which genius thought this useless thing up, but for $19.95 you can get yourself an EZ Cracker (& the EZ Scrambler for FREE! a $20 value!)! It’ll probably not fit into your kitchen drawer, be impossible to clean & only get used once as a novelty. I bet that it’s a clusterfuck […]
