Fresh coat of paint for Zaitzeff?
Maybe I’m losing my mind, but I could have sworn that super-duper awesome East Village burger spot Zaitzeff had a black/dark facade. I walked by today & this is what it looks like now. Feng Shui maybe? I’m not sure, nor do I think it’s more enticing. The burgers there, however, are really freakin’ good […]
Zaitzeff
I had some coupons from InBundles so I took my parents to Zaitzeff (18 Avenue B between 2nd & 3rd streets). I had been there before & tried the BLT, but this was my first time checking out the burgers. It being a rainy Monday, the place really wasn’t busy. I opted for the Quarter […]
Croxley’s
Two words; Messy Fingers. This is what you can expect when you go to Croxley’s. Mondays and Wednesdays are 10 cent wing nights & as the picture demonstrates things can get really messy (20 cent wings til 5 on Saturday & all day Sunday), I don’t know why they bother giving us forks anyhoo!
Virgil’s BBQ
This is going to be a bit of a brief post as I was on the way to a Thrillist.com party with a buddy & we had some time to kill. We were passing by Virgil’s (152 West 44th Street between 6th & 7th Avenues) & decided to stop in for a bite. I’ve heard […]
Bacon Bash!
Ok, this post is 2 months late, but on March 31st I and a bunch of bacon enthusiasts took over the ‘Vegas Room’ in the rear of Village Pourhouse (64 3rd Avenue at 11th Street). $30 got you a few hours of delicious bacon heaven. Every dish included bacon in some form, including the drinks! […]
Black Iron Burger
I’ll admit that I was very excited when Black Iron Burger (540 East 5th Street at Avenue B) moved into the hood last year, replacing the waste-of-space Bouche Bar. They did a great job on the renovation & now the space has an open feel with seats at the bar, plenty of high tables & […]
Frying Pan
I got a chance to check out Frying Pan (26th Street & Hudson River Park) the Lightship of the same name & sprawling barge Bar & Restaurant a few weeks ago. It was well worth the wait; a sunny but not too hot mid-April Friday afternoon & luckily the place was no too busy (something […]
Royale
Eager to continue my unabashed assault on burger joints in the East Village, I went to Royale (157 Avenue C @ 10th Street). This has become one of my favorite burger bars in the ‘hood, but I’ve always been sans camera (or mental capacity) to actually blog it. Luckily for you, I had both on […]
Corner Bistro
I’ve been eating a lot of burgers recently, so I jumped at the chance to revisit Corner Bistro, one of my old favorite burger spots. I love the no frills decor, the older bartenders & in particular, the burgers. I ordered some fries to start, but honestly, I wasn’t very impressed with them. It had been […]
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 […]
