East Village Represented At Meatopia
Grub Street recently released the extensive lineup of chefs at this years Meatopia, the self-proclaimed ” Woodstock of Edible Animals” taking place at Brooklyn Bridge Park on July 23rd. Eduard Frauneder, the chef at Edi & The Wolf, will be the only East Village chef participating, but don’t let that deter you. I’m looking forward to offerings […]
Yakiniku West Revisited
It’s been several months since I’ve been back to Yakinuki West (review here) so I decided to return with some friends & give the place another try. After removing our shoes, we got a pretty sweet spot towards the back of the restaurant & ordered some beer. I’ve been here several times before, so I […]
The Farm On Adderley
It takes a lot to get me out of the East Village, but a trip into Brooklyn takes a lot of coaxing. A friend invited me to his ‘hood (Ditmas Park) for lunch I decided that I’d give it a shot. After a surprisingly painless trip on the L & Q trains, I arrived at a really […]
Verso
So, Verso had their opening last night (see EVGrieve), so I went by today to see what was going on. Formerly Caffee Pepe Rosso (which I loved), then Caffe Cotto (not so much), the space was completely gutted & rebuilt from the ground up. I stopped by around 4 o’clock thinking the place was open, […]
Satsko Now Serving Brunch
Well, it’s not really breaking news, but for the past few months Sake Bar Satsko (review) has been serving brunch on the weekends (not many people seem to know this). I had a chance to go with some friends, so here’s the rundown. The brunch menu at Satsko is a smaller version of their regular […]
Sunny & Annie
I doubt that there’s an East Village resident that at hasn’t bought a sandwich from Sunny & Annie whether it was on the way home from work, or stumbling around drunk on Avenue B. My first experience with Sunny & Annie was in late 2001 when I needed some milk. I figured that it was […]
New Owners For Acme Bar & Grill
At the end of March I mentioned that Acme Bar & Grill, the 25 year old Southern Food joint, closed abruptly for renovations. The owner, Bob Pollock, claimed that the restaurant would reopen, but I had my doubts (particularly when you look at the demo pictures) Well, now it’s confirmed; both Grub Street & Zagat […]
Takahachi Continues To Impress
I’ve never been shy about how much I love Takahachi, it’s by far my favorite spot in the East Village when I’m craving some fresh raw fish. I’ve been going there pretty much ever since I moved to the East Village 10 years ago & it’s been the go to sushi spot for me & […]
New name & more for former Caffe Cotto
We’ve been eagerly watching 127 Avenue C which was formerly Caffe Cotto (& Cafe Pepe Rosso before that) & I passed by today only to find that they now have a new name; Verso. I wasn’t able to take a peek inside as workers were blocking the doorway, but there seems to b a lot […]
