Lina Frey
I’d been reading about Lina Frey (201 East Houston at Ludlow Street) the newest French Bistro & Creperie in the LES for some time so I decided to finally check it out for myself. Actually, I had read more about the beer selection & retractable roof than the food, so I was eager to see […]
The Rusty Knot
After visiting The Frying Pan, I decided to hit up the nautically-themed Rusty Knot (425 West Street at West 11th St.). It’s a bit out of my normal stomping grounds but I was already on the West Side. I’d been there before for drinks (normally a Tecate & the infamous Pickleback; a shot of pickle […]
Luke’s Lobster Makes People Go Batsh*t
Addiction, it’s not just for crack anymore (sorry Pookie). Thanks to the miracle of the Internets & Twitter I just heard about a Craigslist Post today from a guy who snapped because he hadn’t had his Luke’s Lobster Roll yet. Titled; “To the lass walking her dog” the post reads; I just want to apologize […]
6th Street Kitchen
After passing by several times, I recently went to 6th Street Kitchen (507 East 6th Street between Avenue A & B) with a friend. I had previously reported that they just started Happy Hour so we arrived there pretty early last Friday (Update; Happy Hour Has been pushed back to Fall, but they will be […]
Mermaid Inn
It’s really hard to find good seafood (particularly oysters), but we’re pretty blessed here in the East Village. One of my favorites is Mermaid Inn (96 2nd Avenue between 5th & 6th Streets). They have another location in the UWS & an Oyster Bar in Greenwich Village as well.
Butter Lane Cupcakes
Wanting something sweet after a recent meal with my brother & sister, we went to Butter Lane (123 East 7th Street between Avenue A & 1st Ave.) It’s a small space with a few seats indoors & the service area & bakery in the back. It was a warm day so we decided to order […]
East Village Cheese
This place is one of my Favorite guilty pleasures, East Village Cheese consistently serves up the most delicious & affordable cheese ever. Don’t let the exterior (handwritten specials) scare you, inside is an amazing mecca of cheese! This is a no frills store, cash only & lacking in friendly customer service. You go in, choose […]
178 7th Street close to opening
I passed by the former Mohamed’s Falafel Star spot (178th 7th Street at Avenue B) today & was lucky enough to run into Otto, the owner of the new joint. He told me that they should be open in 3-4 weeks & that the menu will be mainly healthy food with Eastern European influences. He […]
Tortilla Flats
I’ve been going to Tortilla Flats for years (since I was a wee pup), but I’ve never had a chance to review the place till now. Luckily, the last time that I went, I had my camera with me so I was able to take a few shots. I’m really not sure how to describe Tortilla […]
