Rugby World Cup at Tuck Shop
I’m gonna keep this short & sweet. Tuck Shop on St. Marks Place will be showing the 2011 Rugby World Cup match (Australia V Russia) at 10:15 tonight, immediately followed by the Aussie Rules Football Grand Final (Collingwood V Geelong) at Midnight. Rugby, footie & meat pies… What could go wrong? Tuck Shop: 115 Saint Marks […]
IHOP
Initially I wanted nothing to do with this place, but I found myself down the block yesterday with an hour to kill so I decided to have some breakfast. Chain restaurants (TGIF, Denny’s & the like) aren’t really my cup of tea, but I’ll admit that once I made the decision to eat here, I […]
Avenue C Braces For Impakt
Avenue C, an area of the East Village packed with quaint, tree-lined streets bars, is getting ready for more of the same. Oktoberfest starts today & Zum Schneider opened at 11am for the celebrations to start. So put on your lederhosen & get ready to hear live music and drink a lot of beer. If […]
Live Bait
Southern & Cajun cuisine ranks pretty high on my favorite food to eat, so I’ve been slowly trying to cross of as many restaurants in the city as I can. This week it was Live Bait’s turn. I’ve passed by the place a bunch of times, but never eaten there. While researching places for lunch, […]

Kafana Revisited
I reviewed Kafana for the first time about a year ago & it has become a place that I eat at regularly. I’ll admit that I didn’t know much about Serbian food back then & I feel like I’m in a better position to talk about the dishes there. The restaurant serves up a lot […]
Nam Son Vietnamese Restaurant
I don’t eat in Chinatown very often & when I do, it’s normally at a Chinese restaurant, but I’ve passed Nam Son so many times while shopping around Grand Street that I decided to finally give it a go. I’ve been to Vietnam once & admit that I don’t know much about the cuisine. I’ve […]
Kasadela
Honestly, when I think of I traditional Japanese food in the East Village, Avenue C doesn’t immediately come to mind. I’d been a regular at the restaurant years ago & pretty much forgotten about it until last week. Luckily the food is still as good as I remember. Nestled in an area where you’re more likely to […]
