The Iceman Cometh!
Huzzah! I finally got what Santa never brought me for Christmas last year (no, not Zoe Saldana in her birthday suit, the other thing); a Cuisinart 1.5 Quart Ice Cream Maker (available at Amazon)! It arrived this morning (just in time for the great weather), so I haven’t had a chance to give the thing […]
De Robertis Pasticceria
I had a chance to stop by De Robertis Pasticceria (176 1st Avenue @ 11th Street), a neighborhood staple since 1904, to pick up some dessert for a family dinner. I’ve passed by this place, with it’s bright signage, hundreds of times but never gone in. The place has an old school feel & is […]

178 E. 7th St. remains shuttered
The former Mohamed Falafel Star (previously Dawgs on Park located on 7th St. between Avenue A & B) is still shuttered. It was open (& not very popular) and operated in a similar fashion for a while after Mohamed vacated the space. Signs on the door say they are closed for vacation until March 18th […]
Brunch at Northern Spy Food Co.
I’m literally reeling from my visit to Northern Spy Food Co. (511 East 12th Street between A & 1st Avenue) a few hours ago. This is by far the quickest ‘plate-to-blog’ update yet! I’ve been wanting to go here for a long time & finally found someone else that was interested as well. Specializing in […]

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 […]
Jin Restaurant
With the weather warming up, I decided to head to Jin Restaurant with a few friends for their awesome Happy Hour Special. There’s a vast selection of items (beer, sake, rolls, dumplings, along with cooked items such as yakitori, etc.) are all just $3 during the pre-dinner rush, every day of the week. With so few […]

According to EVGrieve, a seafood restaurant & fishmonger will be opening up at 171 Avenue A @11th street. As you can well imagine, this is a major bonus for us seafood lovers in the East Village, we’ve been without a fishmonger for some time! According to the owner/operator; I am planning on opening a seafood […]
