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 […]

2nd Annual Taste Of 7th St. Recap

I love my city, New York. I love my neighborhood, the East Village. And even more & more I love my street, 7th Street (before there’s an uproar, I do realize that some of the restaurants are not on 7th Street).  I reported earlier about the 2011 Taste of 7th St.  I went this year […]

Taste of 7th Street Food Festival

Taste of 7th Street was a huge success last year & tomorrow through Friday (April 20th-22nd) the Food Festival returns.  Both Butter Lane & Luke’s Lobster return & we have 3 newcomers; Cowgirl’s Baking, Dumpling Man & Wechsler’s Currywurst.  $18 gets you $34 worth of food.  Dishes include; Luke’s Lobster – Small Lobster Roll Wechsler’s […]

Happy Halloween!

On a side note, this is Luke’s last weekend […]

Not to be confused with…

I’ve been hearing a lot about the Fourth Arts Block ‘East Village Eats’ self-guided tour of 15 East Village restaurants.  I’m getting the impression that I’m leeching some of their Google hits, so if the food tour was what you were looking for, click the image.  $35 gets you the opportunity to walk around the […]

Mermaid Inn

It’s really hard to find good seafood (particularly oysters), but we’re pretty blessed here in the East Village.  One of my favorites is Mermaid Inn (96 2nd Avenue between 5th & 6th Streets).  They have another location in the UWS & an Oyster Bar in Greenwich Village as well.
