Taste Of Nolita Recap

Last week I attended the Taste Of Nolita Food Festival (previously mentioned here) which ran from Wednesday til Friday & featured 7 restaurants & discounts at a few bars in Nolita.  Luckily I had the chance to go, so I figure I’d let you know my thoughts on the event.  Things kicked off at Asia […]

Taste of Nolita Food Festival

Sort of like the Taste of 7th Street Food Festival that I’ve spoken about before, Scoop St. is bringing us a Nolita version.  Honestly, I’ll admit that I don’t know that much about restaurants in the area, but it’s not too far from the East Village & the lineup does look sick. A mere $19 […]

Spina

I’ve been watching this space for quite some time so I finally decided to bite the bullet & went for dinner on my Dad’s birthday.  It was a Wednesday at 8:30 and the place was already packed.  We got a seat in the corner by the window & started studying the menu.  It’s not particularly […]

East Village Eats Tour Postponed!

East Village Eats Tasting Tour 2010

Updated: Click here for info on the 2012 event. I suppose with this year’s East Village Eats just around the corner (info here), it was time that I wrote a recap of the awesome time that I had the year before.  It was 8 months almost to the day ago, but I took loads of pictures & several […]

‘Kick-Off Coffee Program’ at Vandaag?

I found this image recently while surfing the internet (as we all do sometimes) & I’ll admit that I’m somewhat intrigued.  I love coffee, I never have a bad time at Vandaag (reviews) & it seems that the speakers (tasters, roasters & baristas) know what they’re doing.  Problem is, I can’t find any information on […]

East Village Eats Tasting Tour

Updated: Click here for info on the 2012 event. First of all, let me say that I have nothing to do with the organization of this amazing tasting tour lined up for next Saturday. I was just luckily enough to start a blog of the same name a few months before the 1st tour last […]

SOS Chefs Closes

I’m not sure how the hell I missed this, but on June 1st, EVGrieve reported that SOS Chefs, a high-end chef supplier on Avenue B has closed.  I used to love looking through the shop when it first opened, but I did think that the ingredients were a bit on the expensive side.  Still it’s […]
