Edi & The Wolf Has A Patio?
I still haven’t been to the new Austrian restaurant Edi & The Wolf (102 Avenue C at 7th St.) yet, but I’ll admit that I really do want to check it out. A few days ago, Grubstreet (via NY1) reports that their back patio should be opening any day now. There aren’t any pictures yet, […]
Petite Abeille Revisited
After the amazing meal my family had at Petite Abeille (401 East 20th Street at 1st Avenue) last summer, I decided to go back on with my mother on a lazy Saturday. As soon as we entered the restaurant, I could feel a change in the vibe from our previous visit. There were strollers everywhere […]
Dorian Gray
Dorian Gray (205 East 4th Street between Avenue A & B) is a relative newcomer to the East Village food scene & I had a chance to eat there twice over the past week & I’ll admit that I really like the joint. Once I found out that they serve a Full Irish Breakfast all […]
Tribeca Film Festival
While I spend most of my time talking about where to eat great food, I’m taking a break to let you know where to ‘watch’ food. The Tribeca Film Festival starts today & this year we have a few food-related food entries; The upcoming Tribeca Film Fest includes a smattering of food-focused features, including A […]
Work Continues at 127 Avenue C
The gutting of 127 Avenue C at 8th street (currently Cotto, formerly Caffe Peppe Rosso) is in full swing & I passed by yesterday to see that there seems to be some external work going on. The place has been torn down to the studs & was talking to a few locals next door at […]
Spice Cove
With so many Indian restaurants along Curry Row (East 6th street between 1st & 2nd Avenue), I really don’t know why I don’t eat more Indian food. Maybe it’s because I spent so much time in England where curry is basically an art-form & I’ve been unable to find really great Indian food here in […]
Taste of 7th Street Food Festival
Taste of 7th Street was a huge success last year & tomorrow through Friday (April 20th-22nd) the Food Festival returns. Both Butter Lane & Luke’s Lobster return & we have 3 newcomers; Cowgirl’s Baking, Dumpling Man & Wechsler’s Currywurst. $18 gets you $34 worth of food. Dishes include; Luke’s Lobster – Small Lobster Roll Wechsler’s […]
Mini Burger Shutters
Mini Burger (102 St. Marks, near 1st Avenue, formerly Marco Polo Cafe) has been seized by Marshal’s (image) & is no longer open. It’s a real shame as they made awesome Bison Sliders.
NY Loves Japan Recap
The charity event at The Summit Bar (133 Avenue C between 8th & 9th street, previous mention here) last Monday was a great success & organizer Jenny Adams reports that there were between 200 & 300 attendees throughout the night & $6,000 was raised for Japan Society’s Earthquake Relief Fund. I just wanted to thank […]
E & S Wholesome Foods Already Falling Apart
E & S Wholesome Foods, the snazzy-looking bodega that opened recently at 226 East 7th street at Avenue C is already looking a bit ragged. There has been some serious ‘signage slippage’ lately. I’ve been in there a few times & I think it’s a great new addition to the neighborhood & the prices are […]
