Brunch at JoeDoe
I’m not really that big on traditional ‘bacon & egg’ brunches, but when a friend mentioned that JoeDoe (45 East 1st Street between 1st & 2nd Avenues) served duck eggs & not your typical bacon, I jumped at the chance to check it out. Started 2 years ago by Chef Joe Dobias & partner Jill […]
Site News
You may have noticed the lack of posts recently, but I’ve been in the process from moving from the WordPress.com platform, to the self-hosted WordPress.org. This will allow me to use Javascript, add videos & use other, more robust features. All in all, this should improve the experience here at East Village Eats. Hopefully I’ll […]
Casa Adela Shuttered by DOH
The Department of Health has continued their ‘onslaught’ of the East Village & shuttered Pueroto Rican mainstay Casa Adela (66 Avenue C near 5th Street) two days ago. As the sign indicates, the fridges were not at the proper temperature. Hopefully they’ll sort this out soon & return to do what they do best; serving […]
Marco Polo Cafe (Closed)
After the folks @SaintDelivery mentioned the amazing $1 Sliders at Marco Polo Cafe (102 St. Marks, near 1st Avenue) I decided that I had to try them out for myself. Needless to say, I’ve been there 3 times in the last 4 days; AMAZING. Named after the famed Venetian explorer that opened up the Chinese […]

Arcane Turns 2!
Arcane, the French-Caribbean restaurant, is celebrating it’s second birthday today. I just passed by & it looked pretty packed, with party-goers sharing the sidewalk with people drinking at Zum Schneider next door. I did review the brunch there back in May (not very favorably), but I have as yet to have dinner. Anyway; Happy Birthday […]

Back Forty
I reviewed the brunch at Back Forty (190 Avenue B @ 12th Street) back in March, so I decided that it was time for me to get some dinner there. I went with my Mom midweek, so we luckily didn’t have to wait for a table even though the place was busy. We got the […]
Esperanto Revisited
So after my last review of brunch at Esperanto (review here) where I complained about the Huevos Loisada, I decided to post about the great brunch food there, namely the cheeseburger. It was my birthday (Yay Me!) so I went with my mother & brother & got a pretty choice seat by the entrance.
More Content Coming Soon
With NYU students coming back to the hood in massive throngs (have you seen Third Avenue? It’s a gigantic clusterfuck! No, really…), I’ve decided to start reviewing bars as well. What goes better with food than booze? If there’s anything I know better than where to eat, it’s where to get hammered. Obviously this is […]
