East Village Eats

Food & Drink recommendations straight from the East Village, New York City

Happy Halloween!

Luke’s Lobster (review here) is offering 10% off rolls & combo meals if you come dressed as a lobster, crab or shrimp (babies & pets included)!  This discount applies to both locations.  I doubt they make Empress crab claw or clam chowder outfits but who knows! On a side note, this is Luke’s last weekend […]

Kafana

Serbian food really isn’t a cuisine that I know much about or search out, but I’m always eager to try new things which is why I’m glad that we have Kafana (116 Avenue C between 7th & 8th street).  I reviewed Kafana back in 2008 on my previous blog Thursday Club NYC & had thoroughly […]

What’s going on at East Village Cheese?

I went to East Village Cheese (review here) a few days ago to stock up on a few staples & I can’t help but think that something has changed there. A few staples that myself & other family members buy (Boursin & Saga blue cheese, both running at an insanely cheap $1.50 for 8oz.) are […]

Pardon The Mess

I’ve finally moved to the self-hosted WordPress platform (something I should have done from day one, apparently Momma did raise a fool) so the site is looking kinda funky right now. I’m going to pay someone to fix it up all purdy as soon as possible, so I’m sorry for any broken links, HTML errors […]

Bovine Burglary!

Bessie, the beloved mascot of Aussie eatery The Sunburnt Cow (137 Avenue C between 8th & 9th streets, brunch review here) has been cownapped!  Some time between 2 & 4am last Sunday she was stolen for the 2nd time from her perch at the front of the restaurant.  They are offering a $500 reward for […]

Kuboya Ramen

A few days ago I talked about Kuboya Ramen that popped up right next door to Minca, the much loved reigning champ on the block.  I questioned whether or not we need another Ramen spot on 5th street.  Well, I decided to check out Kuboya for myself & here’s my review.

Fourth Arts Block, a non-profit located on East 4th Street Cultural District is hosting an East Village Food Tour & Fund-raising event. $35 gets you access to 15 restaurants in the East Village as well as discount drinks at a few bars in the area (buy your tix now, they go up to $45 tomorrow).  […]

Marco Polo Cafe Now Mini Burger

Marco Polo Cafe (102 St Mark’s Place near 1st Avenue, review here), my go to spot for $1 bison sliders shuttered for a few days, got a bit of a new paint job & signage & has reopened as Mini Burger.  They still serve the same sliders, but the price has been jacked up fifty […]

Ramen @ Sake Bar Satsko

It’s no secret that I have a real soft spot for Sake Bar Satsko (further info here), the tiny east village restaurant & bar that over the years has become my go to place for good times.  I found out last week that the owner, Satsko Watanabe has begun making Pork ($12) & Vegetable ($11) Ramen on […]
