Russ & Daughters Celebrates Herring
Apparently it’s Herring Season! Russ & Daughters on Houston Street, home of (what is in my opinion) the best bagels, Lox & smoked fish is throwing a bash at the Astor Center on June 28th. The short 4-5 week timeline where herring are at their optimum means that this is a chance not to be missed. Anything […]
Highland Pacific
I realize that this is a blog about East Village, NYC food, but I do sometimes post from other areas, such as Brooklyn, etc. So why, you might ask, am I reviewing a seafood restaurant in Denver, Colorado? Well, because I love the food there & make a point of going at least once every […]
Takahachi Continues To Impress
I’ve never been shy about how much I love Takahachi, it’s by far my favorite spot in the East Village when I’m craving some fresh raw fish. I’ve been going there pretty much ever since I moved to the East Village 10 years ago & it’s been the go to sushi spot for me & […]
2nd Annual Taste Of 7th St. Recap
I love my city, New York. I love my neighborhood, the East Village. And even more & more I love my street, 7th Street (before there’s an uproar, I do realize that some of the restaurants are not on 7th Street). I reported earlier about the 2011 Taste of 7th St. I went this year […]

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 […]
Bond St
I’m going to start by saying that this is a post about the lounge downstairs at Bond St (6 Bond Street between Broadway & Lafayette) & not the restaurant upstairs. The food comes from the same kitchen, but the dining experience can be as different as night & day (more on that later). I’ve been […]
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 […]
Lure Fishbar
I’m never one to shy away from trying a new restaurant (unless it’s out of my comfort zone –I’m talking to you Upper West Side!), so when I got an email from Tasting Table about a Late Brunch they were sponsoring along with Stella Artois, I jumped at the chance. Lure Fishbar (142 Mercer Street […]
Ruby’s Bar & Grill to close
In a further show of developer’s inability to mix the old & the new Ruby’s (1213 Riegelmann Boardwalk) will be shuttered for good in 2 weeks. It’s already closed for the season, but it’ll never open again. I reviewed it back in August & I can honestly say that I’m really going to miss this […]
