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 […]
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 […]
Idle Hands
Idle Hands is a self-proclaimed ‘Bourbon, Beer & Rock’ bar located downstairs at 25 Avenue B (between 2nd & 3rd St.) & honestly that’s as good of a description as you’re going to get. Initially I was somewhat skeptical of the bar because of the brightly lit & eye-catchingly orange Billy Hurricane’s bar that resides […]
Drink & Draw!
Last Wednesday (April 6th) local East Village bar 7B/Horseshoe Bar/Vazacs (108 Avenue B at 7th Street) started a biweekly gathering of artists & locals for Happy Hour drink specials, drawing & conversations on art. On the first & third Wednesdays from 3-7pm (the next one is April 20th) you can sharpen your crayons & head […]
New York Loves Japan
Apparently Facebook isn’t just for wasting time at work as I got an invite to the New York Loves Japan party (further info here) going down this Monday April 11th at The Summit Bar (133 Avenue C between 8th & 9th street). $20 on the door gets you to unlimited booze-laden punches from 7-11pm. Not […]
Satsko Eldridge Closes
Sake Bar Satsko‘s more grownup & fancy sister, Satsko Eldridge (245 Eldridge St. between Houston & Stanton Street), has closed. I knew business there has been slow for quite some time, but on Saturday the rumors were confirmed via a friend & today Bowery Boogie reveals that it’s due to nonpayment of taxes.
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 […]
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 […]
Satsko Wins Village Voice Nightlife Award
Sake Bar Satsko (my review here) has been voted ‘Best Place for Dinner & a Hangover‘ by the Village Voice & Sound of the City. Well, actually, it tied with some place called Roberta’s, but I don’t know where or what the heck that place is & I don’t really care. I’ve been singing […]
Coal Yard
I had mentioned back in mid-October that Lilly Coogan’s was being re-opened as Coal Yard (102 First Avenue @ 6th Street), well they’ve been open for more than a month & the Yard has quickly become one of my favorite bars in the East Village. I figure it’s about time I reviewed bars & this […]
