Edi & The Wolf Has A Patio?

I still haven’t been to the new Austrian restaurant Edi & The Wolf (102 Avenue C at 7th St.) yet, but I’ll admit that I really do want to check it out.  A few days ago,  Grubstreet (via NY1) reports that their back patio should be opening any day now.  There aren’t any pictures yet, […]

Here Comes Irene!

I’ve been mining Twitter & local bloggers to compile a list of East Village establishments that will be closed this weekend.  Pretty much every grocery store is reporting massive lines at the registers (Fine Fare on C was a mess last night) so I’m not going to bother with those. International Bar & Coal Yard: Closed. […]

East Village Represented At Meatopia

Eduard Frauneder, the chef at Edi & The Wolf, will be the only East Village chef participating, but don’t let that deter you.  I’m looking forward to offerings […]

Korilla BBQ

I’m not much of a food truck guy, but I have been loosely following the progress of the Korilla BBQ truck (@KorillaBBQ on Twitter).  They don’t normally come around the East Village, but I saw a tweet that they’d be at Astor Place for dinner service so I decided that I had to go check […]

Mercadito

The details on this post might be slightly sketchy because I’m recounting events from several weeks ago, but here goes…  I went for an impromptu dinner with 3 buddies to Mercadito (179 Avenue B between 11th & 12th street) for some upscale Mexican food.  It was early & the place wasn’t heaving yet (it can […]

Action at 102 Avenue C

102 Avenue C (at 7th street) the long-shuttered former home of Mr C’s Italian Trattoria might be reopening.  Over the past few days, I’ve seen the doors open & people pottering around the place.  I’m really hoping that we get a decent restaurant here as my one & only experience at Mr. C’s was laughable… […]
