Alphabet City Beer Co. Opens
Work began in early February of this year & Alphabet City Beer Co. finally opened today. Housed in the former CHP Hardware space, you’d hardly recognize it now. Owners Dave & Zach opened at noon today & I arrived with a few other locals to check the place out. The first thing that strikes you […]
Egg Creams at Ray’s Candy Store
For some reason I got a few tweets yesterday informing me that it was ‘National Egg Cream Day’ & that I should visit Ray’s Candy Store or Gem Spa in the East Village to partake.

Even though they were celebrating their 1 year anniversary with deep discounts on 44 items in […]
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 […]
