Free Meatballs?
So I come home late last night after an epic 7 course Thursday Club NYC meal (on a Sunday when the Jets won no less!) & I collect my mail that has been festering in my mailbox for days. Most of it is useless; bank statements, bills, junk mail etc. Then something jumps out at […]
Dessert at Vandaag (Closed)
I was searching Googling for a place to bring a few family members for a late coffee & dessert around New Year’s & Vandaag ended up at the top of the pile. I’ve been there for lunch & dinner before, but I was worried that they’d be packed. It was still busy but luckily for […]
Fu Sushi (CLOSED)
Although I sing the praises of Takahachi, Fu Sushi is another great sushi spot in the East Village. It’s normally not packed to the gills, the staff are friendly & they serve up great food. I’ve been there a bunch of times, so basically here’s a rundown of what’s on offer.
New Year’s Eve at Goat Town
I normally just write off New Year’s Eve as a night where the city will be full of drunken idiots & nothing spectacular would happen. This time, I decided to change the game up, at the last minute & with no reservations I went to Goat Town (511 East 5th Street between Ave. A & […]
JoeDoe’s ‘Prepared Beers’ Get a nod from Bruni
Frank Bruni of the NY Times Dining & Wine section gave 2 thumbs up to JoeDoe‘s (45 East 1st Street between 1st & 2nd Avenue) beer cocktails, in particular, the Honey Beer Cocktail. Served in a salt-rimmed Pilsner glass, it’s made up of Dale’s Pale Ale, both lemon juice and jest & DH Krahn gin. […]
I’m Glad I’m Not The Only One That Doesn’t Like Butter Lane
I’ve been screaming to the Heavens & telling anyone who would listen about my dislike of Butter Lane‘s cupcakes. I half expected there to be a backlash due to the fact that everyone seems to love the place. Personally, I find them to be insanely sweet, not just ‘oh that’s a bit sweet‘, but more […]
Xi’an Famous Foods
I’ve found myself eating less & less Chinese food recently, mostly because of all of the new restaurants & flavors in the ‘hood & my belief that all Chinese restaurants serve up the same dishes. Not so with Xi’an Famous Foods (81 Saint Marks Place at 1st Avenue), a restaurant which serves food from Xi’an […]
Bond St
I’m going to start by saying that this is a post about the lounge downstairs at Bond St (6 Bond Street between Broadway & Lafayette) & not the restaurant upstairs. The food comes from the same kitchen, but the dining experience can be as different as night & day (more on that later). I’ve been […]
Fire Ravages 6th Street Kitchen
In a perfect example of how NOT to start 2011, a fire engulfed 6th Street Kitchen (507 East 6th Street between Avenue A & B) & the 2 apartments above yesterday at 7:30 am. 1 fireman was injured, but all residents got out. A second fire broke out at 9:40 am & residents were evactuated […]
