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 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 […]
Russ & Daughters Celebrates Herring
Apparently it’s Herring Season! Russ & Daughters on Houston Street, home of (what is in my opinion) the best bagels, Lox & smoked fish is throwing a bash at the Astor Center on June 28th. The short 4-5 week timeline where herring are at their optimum means that this is a chance not to be missed. Anything […]
Luca Bar Seized
The Local East Village has reported that Luca Bar, a European bar/restaurant on St. Mark’s has been seized by the state for owing more than $31K in back taxes. I ate there once & had a totally forgettable meal, so I’m not sad to see the place go. I am, however, crossing my fingers that […]
Highland Pacific
I realize that this is a blog about East Village, NYC food, but I do sometimes post from other areas, such as Brooklyn, etc. So why, you might ask, am I reviewing a seafood restaurant in Denver, Colorado? Well, because I love the food there & make a point of going at least once every […]
