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 […]

Meatball Factory To Become A Seafood Restaurant
The Meatball Factory on 14th street has had it’s ups & downs, but it seems that the final nail in the coffin has been hammered in. EVGrieve reported that the space was closed & in disarray earlier this week (it’s second closing) & now The Local East Village confirms that the space has been sold to Miha Knondoker […]
S’Mac Celebrates It’s 6th Birthday
On Monday July 16th, Sarita’s Macaroni & Cheese (better known as S’Mac) will be celebrating 6 years in operation. As part of the celebration, they will be offering their All-American Mac & Cheese for the insanely low price of one buck (normally priced at $4.75). This is the classic American & Cheddar cheese combo in […]
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 […]
Cowgirl Sea-Horse
If I told you that there was a nautically themed Tex-Mex restaurant located near South Street Seaport hidden under the Brooklyn Bridge, you’d probably call me a liar. Sister restaurant to Tortilla Flats (review) on the West Side, it has the same decor sensibility & I imagine a similar raucous late-night atmosphere. We arrived late in the afternoon on […]
Post Office
I read about Post Office on Tasting Table & Immaculate Infatuation, but it wasn’t until I realized that a good friend lived around the corner that I decided to take the trip out to BK. It was surprisingly painless to get there from the East Village (Post Office is by the Marcy Av J, M, […]
Pedro’s
While there are loads of Mexican restaurants in the East Village, none of them quite top the vibe at Pedro’s in Dumbo. Well worth the subway ride, I can guarantee that you won’t be disappointed with your meal there. Being a Friday night, it was a bit packed, but we didn’t have to wait that […]
