Lunch At The Brindle Room
Lunch can be somewhat boring in the East Village since there aren’t really that many good places that open & serve food before 4pm (I often find myself returning to the same places over & over again) which is why I was excited that The Brindle Room is open for lunch. I had recently watched […]
Casimir Launches ‘Monday Night Steakhouse’
I mentioned in April that Casimir had been sold & spoke a bit about what changes could be expected. It seems that the new owner has choosen a direction as I got an email from Type A Media on Wednesday (they seem to represent a few East Village & LES restaurants, they clued me up on Bondi […]
Desnuda Revisited
Is it possible for a restaurant to do a complete u-turn? Can a leopard change it’s spots? Honestly, I would have answered no, but I’ve been proven wrong. After the debacle that was my first visit to Desnuda (recounted here), I reluctantly returned this weekend. It was a Sunday, so the dollar oysters that had […]
Hill Country
After the restaurant my sister selected for a lunch date turned out to be a complete disaster, I decided to take the reins & choose where we’d eat. After a few suggestions via Twitter, Hill Country in Chelsea got the nod. Once you enter the place, it’s almost as if you’ve been transported to Texas. […]

Jimmy’s No. 43 on 7th Street will be hosting an all you can eat local oyster bash from 5-10pm this Thursday. They will be serving a wide range of both wild & farmed Long Island oysters including ‘Naked Cowboys’ provided by Blue Isle Oysters. Drinks cost extra, but you can enjoy any one of the […]
Spina
I’ve been watching this space for quite some time so I finally decided to bite the bullet & went for dinner on my Dad’s birthday. It was a Wednesday at 8:30 and the place was already packed. We got a seat in the corner by the window & started studying the menu. It’s not particularly […]
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 […]
Sunny & Annie
I doubt that there’s an East Village resident that at hasn’t bought a sandwich from Sunny & Annie whether it was on the way home from work, or stumbling around drunk on Avenue B. My first experience with Sunny & Annie was in late 2001 when I needed some milk. I figured that it was […]
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 […]
Petite Abeille Revisited
After the amazing meal my family had at Petite Abeille (401 East 20th Street at 1st Avenue) last summer, I decided to go back on with my mother on a lazy Saturday. As soon as we entered the restaurant, I could feel a change in the vibe from our previous visit. There were strollers everywhere […]
