Stromboli Pizza Addition
Much beloved Stromboli Pizza’s (83 St. Marks Place @ 1st Avenue) hideous shitbox addition is apparently open for business. I don’t mind the pizza there, but you couldn’t pay me to sit in that plywood tinderbox… Further pictures & coverage via Evgrieve. Update (4/11/10); The addition looks a bit less shitty now with signage & coverings. I […]
Cafetasia East
After mocking Cafetasia (85 Avenue A between 5th & 6th streets) earlier for being ‘just another’ Thai restaurant on the Ave., I went there today with a friend for some Happy Hour (more like Happy Day! 12:30-5pm) food. I can’t remember the name of the spot that used to be here, but Cafetasia did a […]
Queen of Sheba
A bunch of us got together to celebrate & my buddy, DJ, took us all to Queen of Sheba (650 10th avenue @46th St.) for some authentic Ethiopian fare. This was my second time to an Ethiopian restaurant with DJ (he had taken us to Awash in the East Village) & I thought I knew […]
Casimir

Cafe Habana
I went to ‘hipster-laden’ Cafe Habana a while back with my brother & his girlfriend & I’m only just getting around to writing it up. This is well out of my normal range, but we were shopping in the area & hungry. I’ll let you know now that the place is tiny & really cramped, plus it’s […]
Thursday Club
Not exactly an East Village post, but check out my write-up of this insanely good 5 course meal I had for my most recent dinner club in Brooklyn. The menu included snails, pork terrine, duck, skate & braised short ribs. Oh & obviously a lot of wine… It was AMAZING!
