Korzo Haus
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about the work going on at the old Mohamed’s Falafel Star, so it’s about time that I reviewed Korzo Haus (178 East 7th St. @ Avenue B), one of the newer additions to East Village dining. Don’t let the exterior (which I really don’t care for) fool you, […]
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 […]
Royale Revisited
Trolling along Avenue C & looking for something to eat, I decided to stop by my old haunt Royale (157 Avenue C @ 10th Street review here). I haven’t been there in several months & I wanted to see if there have been any changes there.
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 […]
Mõtek (CLOSED)
I really don’t spend much time on Saint Marks Place, so I was really surprised to stumble on Mõtek (125 Saint Marks Place at Avenue A). Mõtek serves coffee & sandwiches, but the real draw are the crepes; available in both sweet & savory variations. The place looks brand spanking new, but the guy behind […]
Bar Food At East Village Tavern
I recently went to East Village Tavern (158 Avenue C at 10th Street) for the first time a few days ago. It had been a French-Japanese fusion restaurant several years ago, but the space has been gutted & there is a brand new bar with a much more open feel. I was there for my […]
Polpettone from Frank Restaurant
I felt the need to add this post as I won Frank Restaurant’s daily lunch giveaway (@frankrestauant on twitter), if you’re the first to retweet, you get a free lunch. I’m literally devouring it right now & typing in between bites. Polpettone is basically a rolled meatloaf, Frank serves it with a marinara sauce & […]
Brunch At VBar
Shortly after attempting to go to the Grub Street Food Festival, a friend & I spent ages trying to find a brunch spot in the LES, Schiller’s, Essex Restaurant & Spitzer’s Corner were all Ram Jam, so we ended up at Vbar (132 1st Avenue at Saint Marks Place)Bar. A complete disaster ensued. VBar is […]
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 […]
Fresh coat of paint for Zaitzeff?
Maybe I’m losing my mind, but I could have sworn that super-duper awesome East Village burger spot Zaitzeff had a black/dark facade. I walked by today & this is what it looks like now. Feng Shui maybe? I’m not sure, nor do I think it’s more enticing. The burgers there, however, are really freakin’ good […]
