Ruby’s Bar & Grill to close
In a further show of developer’s inability to mix the old & the new Ruby’s (1213 Riegelmann Boardwalk) will be shuttered for good in 2 weeks. It’s already closed for the season, but it’ll never open again. I reviewed it back in August & I can honestly say that I’m really going to miss this […]
Fresh coat of paint for Zaitzeff?
Maybe I’m losing my mind, but I could have sworn that super-duper awesome East Village burger spot Zaitzeff had a black/dark facade. I walked by today & this is what it looks like now. Feng Shui maybe? I’m not sure, nor do I think it’s more enticing. The burgers there, however, are really freakin’ good […]
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 […]
Wine tasting & talk at In Vino
This Saturday, November 6th from 2-4pm, Keith Beavers (a.k.a East Village Wine Geek), patriarch of Alphabet Wine Company & partner in the Italian eatery In Vino (215 East 4th Street Between Avenue A and B) will be hosting a 2 hour talk/tasting about wines & why we enjoy them so much. Keith is very enthusiastic […]
Yakiniku West
A few weeks ago, a group of drunks & foodies (I fall into both categories) descended on 9th street to eat, booze & celebrate Dan‘s birthday at Yakiniku West (218 East 9th St. between 2nd & 3rd Avenue). Yakiniku is a Japanese Steakhouse, complete with a no shoe policy, loads of wood paneling, sunken seating […]
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 […]

Dishes include Pork Loin, Rock Shrimp, Braised Short Ribs (Yum) & more… From the press release: On November 2nd, 6th Street Kitchen will hosting a special “Coast to Coast” wine […]
