Food & Drink recommendations straight from the East Village, New York City

Turkey Leg Ball 2011

If you don’t read Immaculate Infatuation or have their iPhone app, there’s something seriously wrong with you.  Stang & Steinthal were back with a vengeance this year & threw one heck of a party, the Turkey Ball 2011 was held at Hudson Terrace & 600 hungry New Yorkers descended on the spot. The food was provided by […]

Turkey Leg Ball

With Immaculate Infatuation‘s Turkey Leg Ball jumping off tonight at 7:30, I’d be doing myself a disservice if I didn’t recap last year’s awesome event that they hosted with Cooking Channel.  Back in 2010 I really wasn’t clued up that much on food event etiquette & made a few rookie mistakes (not to be repeated this year).  The event […]

Food News

The Secret Life of bourbon barrels. Julie Farias now helming Goat Town, via Eater. Salon Hencho (next to Hencho In Dumbo) getting live music. Eater reports that Michael White will be opening Nicoletta. Cucina di Pesce closed for emergency repairs via EVGrieve.

Jane Revisited

My first visit to Jane back in January was pretty good, so I jumped at the chance to check the place out again for brunch recently.  A friend was celebrating his birthday & there was 11 of us in total, meaning that I’d be able to see more of the menu.  Given that we were […]

Duke’s Bar on its last legs?

Duke’s bar on Avenue C has been my haven from huge crowds & douchebags for quite a few years.  It’s a low key bar that offered cheap beer, pool, Buck Hunter, darts & a promise of no hassle.  A few months ago, the bar lost access to the basement, meaning they had to pull all […]

‘Tattoosday’ At Bondi Road

Bondi Road, the Australian restaurant & LES cousin of The Sunburnt Cow has launched ‘Tattoosday’.  Under the tagline; “show us your ink and we’ll buy you a drink!” you get a free drink on Tuesdays if you show the bartender your tattoo. Bondi Road also features an Endless Raw Bar on Thursdays for $20 & a pretty impressive burger […]

NY Loves Japan Recap

The charity event at The Summit Bar (133 Avenue C between 8th & 9th street, previous mention here) last Monday was a great success & organizer Jenny Adams reports that there were between 200 & 300 attendees throughout the night & $6,000 was raised for Japan Society’s Earthquake Relief Fund. I just wanted to thank […]

Idle Hands

Idle Hands is a self-proclaimed ‘Bourbon, Beer & Rock’ bar located downstairs at 25 Avenue B (between 2nd & 3rd St.) & honestly that’s as good of a description as you’re going to get.  Initially I was somewhat skeptical of the bar because of the brightly lit & eye-catchingly orange Billy Hurricane’s bar that resides […]

New York Loves Japan

Apparently Facebook isn’t just for wasting time at work as I got an invite to the New York Loves Japan party (further info here) going down this Monday April 11th at The Summit Bar (133 Avenue C between 8th & 9th street).  $20 on the door gets you to unlimited booze-laden punches from 7-11pm.  Not […]
