Petite Abeille
The family (well 4 out of 6 of us) got together last night for dinner at a Belgian restaurant that we pass frequently. Petite Abeille (401 East 20th Street) is a pretty bustling restaurant with plenty of outdoor seating right on the corner of 1st Avenue. It being Belgian, we were immediately thinking Moules Frite, […]
Crab Boil @ Mermaid Inn
Mermaid Inn (96 2nd Avenue between 5th & 6th Streets; review here) is having a crab boil this Labor Day weekend. 20 ‘clams’ gets you crab & a mallet. There are also $20 carafes of wine & $15 pitchers of beer. Runs Saturday the 4th, Sunday the 5th & Monday the 6th. Send summer out […]
Sake Bar Satsko
I’m really surprised it’s taken me so long to write a review of Sake Bar Satsko (202 East 7th Street between Ave. B & C), particularly because I live across the street & seem to spend a lot of time eating & drinking there. It’s a tiny sliver of a place & it took me […]
Republic
I recently went to Republic with my Mom for an early dinner. I haven’t been there in a while, so I was really looking forward to the meal. It was pretty empty, so we were seated immediately. Normally I order the curried duck noodles (which are really tasty), but this time I decided to opt for […]
Zaitzeff
I had some coupons from InBundles so I took my parents to Zaitzeff (18 Avenue B between 2nd & 3rd streets). I had been there before & tried the BLT, but this was my first time checking out the burgers. It being a rainy Monday, the place really wasn’t busy. I opted for the Quarter […]
Pio Pio
I love chicken as much (if not more) than the next guy so I jumped at the chance for a free (belated birthday) meal at Pio Pio (210 East 34th Street between 2nd & 3rd). Pio Pio is a chain of Peruvian restaurants that do one thing; pollos a la brasa (rotisserie chicken) & boy […]
6th Street Kitchen offering up lunch
Good news foodies, 6th Street Kitchen (507 East 6th Street between Avenues A & B) & their new chef Greg Torrech will be offering up lunch starting August 23rd. I’ve been here for dinner before, so I’m excited about a new lunch option in the ‘hood. Check ’em out: Lunch Menu & Summer Menu
Introducing The Hopsicle
This was just too choice to ignore. Diable Royale Este (167 Avenue A @ 11th Street) will begin serving up beer popsicles! Take a can of Tecate, add simple syrup, lime & a wooden stick then freeze for 4 days. Your bartender will cut the can in half with a serrated knife. BINGO, instant Hopsicle, […]
Ruby’s Bar & Grill
It took me about 22 years of living in NYC to finally make it out to Coney Island & when I did, I headed straight for Ruby’s (1213 Riegelmann Boardwalk). This place takes ‘Dive Bar’ to a whole new level & throws in a side of Coney Island Boardwalk & sea views. Mismatched furniture, a […]
