Kafana Revisited
I reviewed Kafana for the first time about a year ago & it has become a place that I eat at regularly. I’ll admit that I didn’t know much about Serbian food back then & I feel like I’m in a better position to talk about the dishes there. The restaurant serves up a lot […]
Nam Son Vietnamese Restaurant
I don’t eat in Chinatown very often & when I do, it’s normally at a Chinese restaurant, but I’ve passed Nam Son so many times while shopping around Grand Street that I decided to finally give it a go. I’ve been to Vietnam once & admit that I don’t know much about the cuisine. I’ve […]
Kasadela
Honestly, when I think of I traditional Japanese food in the East Village, Avenue C doesn’t immediately come to mind. I’d been a regular at the restaurant years ago & pretty much forgotten about it until last week. Luckily the food is still as good as I remember. Nestled in an area where you’re more likely to […]
Eataly
Eataly opened with much fanfare a year ago, but I decided to hold off & wait. Luckily Hurricane Irene had everyone running scared this weekend, so I decided to head there on Monday in the hope that it would be pretty empty. Even though they were celebrating their 1 year anniversary with deep discounts on 44 items in […]
Maharlika
I’ve never eaten Filipino food before, so I was really pleased when I read Immaculate Infatuation’s review of Maharlika, a brand new restaurant on 7th St. Originally a pop-up brunch spot on 12th street, they’ve finally got their own space & are serving dinner 7 days a week & brunch on the weekends (lunch service […]
Cooking Demo At Affaire
Last Thursday, Nearsay teamed up with French restaurant/lounge Affaire to host a mussels cooking demo & meetup for local bloggers. Located in a sprawling space that once housed #1 Chinese & China 1, Affaire still has some remnants of it’s Asian past while the menu is classic French.
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. […]
Wok+Wine
I had the extreme pleasure of bringing my Mom to a Foodspotting and Wok+Wine event held at the offices of Luminary Labs in Tribeca. I didn’t know anything about W+W, but I’m an avid Foodspotting user, so I wasn’t going to pass this opportunity up. After doing a bit of research online, I found out that W+W […]
Yvonne’s Jamaican Food Truck
Food trucks are all the rage now, but back in the day when I was growing up on the Upper East Side there was one truck that I went to several times a month. Yvonne’s Jamaican Food Truck serves up amazing Jamaican & Caribbean food around lunchtime on weekdays. The dishes are very simple, but absolutely […]
