Charrito’s Restaurant
I haven’t been ashamed to say that I rarely leave the East Village, so a post about a Mexican restaurant in Weehawken, NJ is somewhat out of place here. A friend recently moved over there and the fact that I had a free car ride & the promise of good Mexican food was enough to […]
Petrossian
Caviar, I can’t get enough of the stuff. Unfortunately, it’s so damn expensive that opportunities are few and far between. When an affordable four course meal for two popped up on Groupon, I decided that it was time to take my Mom out for dinner. If you haven’t been to the restaurant, odds are that […]

Purple Ginger
Housed in the former 6th Street Kitchen (coverage) location that burnt down in early 2011, Purple Ginger is a newcomer to the East Village Asian/Thai scene. I recently had dinner with a few friends & was pleasantly surprised by the food. The space looks great with loads of wood paneling & a decent sound system (some of […]
