Station Diner
I’m adding this entry because I carry my camera everywhere & insist on taking pictures of any food that I do eat. I rang in 20011 in Carroll Gardens at Brooklyn Social, a few hours after my epic first meal at Goat Town. After a lot of booze & a bar crawl through the Gowanus […]
Butchering Demo & Meal @ Back Forty
One of my go-to restaurants in the East Village, Back Forty (190 Avenue B @ 12th Street, coverage here) will be offering a lamb butchering demo by chef Shanna Pacifico (check out this awesome video of her butchering beef on Food Curated). A small group of 12 will watch Shanna butcher an entire lamb then […]
Life Cafe
A few weeks ago, Life Cafe (343 East 10th Street at Avenue B) had a competition on Twitter (@LifeCafe), it was a simple multiple choice question & if you got it right, you won a free bottle of champagne. Well, I answered correctly & descended on the place with a few friends for dinner.
Brunch at Jane
There are plenty of places to go to brunch in the East Village, but I traveled to Greenwich Village with a friend to check out Jane for some Bloody Marys & food. I’ve been there before for dinner a long time ago, so I was excited to check out brunch there, particularly because I know the […]
Food Parc
Way out of my normal stomping grounds & with possibly the shakiest camera in existence, I headed up to Food Parc (851 Avenue of the Americas at West 30th Street) for some late night food & drinks. I had never been there before or even heard of it. I was pleasantly surprised to find a […]
Goat Town
After the awesome New Year’s Eve dinner (review here) I had at Goat Town (511 East 5th Street between Avenue A & B), I knew that I had to go back to check out the regular menu. I recently found out that Gotham is Anglo-Saxon for Goat Town, so I’m guessing that that’s where the […]
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 […]
Yaffa Cafe
This is a bit of a nostalgic post for me as I used to go to Yaffa Cafe (97 Saint Marks Pl at 1st Avenue) a lot when I first moved into the ‘hood in late 2001. I preferred it over nearby 7A & Sidewalk Cafe for late night (they’re 24 hours) food. I returned […]
$10 for a $20 Amazon Gift Card (deal over)
This is a bit of a senseless post & most likely doesn’t belong on the blog, but you can get a $20 Amazon gift Card for $10 here (deal over). Use the savings to buy an awesome Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker (mentioned here). The deal currently has 19 hours left, so get on it folks!
Pongsri Thai Restaurant
There are very few reasons to leave my beloved East Village, but the promise of a workday lunch with my sister had to trekking up to Chelsea. She chose the venue, so we headed to Pongsri (165 West 23rd St. at 7th Avenue). From the outside, it looks like any bland midtown lunch spot. Once […]
