Idle Hands Taking Over Station B
Idle Hands, the “Bourbon, Beer & Rock” bar that has been in the basement of 25 Avenue B for the past few years will be taking over the upstairs bar with was previously Station B. Word has it that it’ll be pretty much business as usual with the upstairs having the same excellent selection of […]
Boulton & Watt
Like many other East Villagers I was sad to see Nice Guy Eddies close. The KISS mural outside was a bit of a neighborhood landmark, the food wasn’t the best (I was a fan of the wings) and the place was pretty dingy, but it was a chill place to get a beer & watch […]

Mighty Quinn’s BBQ
Normally when I think of good barbecue the first thing that comes to mind is a rundown old shack down south with a potbellied pitmaster that has been smoking meat for the best part of his life, not the epicenter of the East Village.

5th Street Deli Opens On Ave. C

Macaron Parlour
I really don’t know that much about macarons besides that they’re sweet and (if done well) delicious, so I was pleased when the team behind Macaron Parlour invited me to a preview event. Opened by husband and wife team Christine Ha & Simon Tung (both with a baking background), they started out at the Hester Street Fair […]
