Eataly
Eataly opened with much fanfare a year ago, but I decided to hold off & wait. Luckily Hurricane Irene had everyone running scared this weekend, so I decided to head there on Monday in the hope that it would be pretty empty. Even though they were celebrating their 1 year anniversary with deep discounts on 44 items in […]
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 […]
Verso
So, Verso had their opening last night (see EVGrieve), so I went by today to see what was going on. Formerly Caffee Pepe Rosso (which I loved), then Caffe Cotto (not so much), the space was completely gutted & rebuilt from the ground up. I stopped by around 4 o’clock thinking the place was open, […]
New name & more for former Caffe Cotto
We’ve been eagerly watching 127 Avenue C which was formerly Caffe Cotto (& Cafe Pepe Rosso before that) & I passed by today only to find that they now have a new name; Verso. I wasn’t able to take a peek inside as workers were blocking the doorway, but there seems to b a lot […]
Roast Chicken Sandwich from Frank Restaurant
I’m feeling pretty lucky at the moment as I won another free lunch from Frank Restaurant a few days ago. @frankrestauant on Twitter, if you’re the first to retweet, you get a free lunch that varies daily. I’m never one to pass up a free meal so I humbly accepted, I love the food at […]
Food Parc
Way out of my normal stomping grounds & with possibly the shakiest camera in existence, I headed up to Food Parc (851 Avenue of the Americas at West 30th Street) for some late night food & drinks. I had never been there before or even heard of it. I was pleasantly surprised to find a […]
Free Meatballs?
So I come home late last night after an epic 7 course Thursday Club NYC meal (on a Sunday when the Jets won no less!) & I collect my mail that has been festering in my mailbox for days. Most of it is useless; bank statements, bills, junk mail etc. Then something jumps out at […]
Gemma
I’m always up for a free meal, so when my buddy Todd called me & said that he was going to Gemma (335 Bowery at 3rd street in the Bowery Hotel) on his boss’ dime, I didn’t hesitate. I’ve been wanting to go here for some time, I remember when the space was a filthy […]
