Lunch At Vandaag (Closed)
[Looking at the pictures, you might think I mean Liquid Lunch, but trust me, I don’t!] Funnily enough, the first time I came to Vandaag was at lunch, I’ve somehow managed to post my reviews in reverse order; Dinner here, Dessert here. It was pretty empty (actually I think that there was only one other […]
Coal Yard
I had mentioned back in mid-October that Lilly Coogan’s was being re-opened as Coal Yard (102 First Avenue @ 6th Street), well they’ve been open for more than a month & the Yard has quickly become one of my favorite bars in the East Village. I figure it’s about time I reviewed bars & this […]

Yesterday I bumped into a friend, Steve Schweiger outside the former Lilly Coogan’s space (102 First Avenue @ 6th Street) which shuttered in late May/early June.

Brunch at Sunburnt Cow
I checked out Sunburnt Cow on a recent weekend for their awesome endless brunch. $18 gets you a brunch item & unlimited brunch drinks or Fosters or Greyhounds. The place is normally pretty packed, as this is one of the best brunch deals in the ‘hood. We were able to snag a seat in the front.
Brunch at Back Forty
So I’m sitting (drinking) at my local watering hole (7B) a few Sundays ago, minding my own business & a friend asks me if I wanted to go to brunch. I said no, because I was more interested in getting hammered, but then he uttered 3 magical words; Pork Jowl Nuggets. Needless to say, moments […]
Pete’s Tavern
I braved the snow earlier today to meet my father & brother at Pete’s Tavern (ignore the lack of snow in the photograph, this one’s from the summer), it’s a bit out of my usual stomping grounds, but what the heck. Just from the exterior, you can tell that this place is old, a plaque by the […]
