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 […]

Cooking Demo At Affaire

Last Thursday, Nearsay teamed up with French restaurant/lounge Affaire to host a mussels cooking demo & meetup for local bloggers.  Located in a sprawling space that once housed #1 Chinese & China 1, Affaire still has some remnants of it’s Asian past while the menu is classic French.

Wok+Wine

I had the extreme pleasure of bringing my Mom to a Foodspotting and Wok+Wine event held at the offices of Luminary Labs in Tribeca.  I didn’t know anything about W+W, but I’m an avid Foodspotting user, so I wasn’t going to pass this opportunity up.  After doing a bit of research online, I found out that W+W […]

Zum Schneider Turns 11

Despite the rain yesterday, the gang at Zum Schneider celebrated their 11th birthday in grand style.  I passed by around 7pm & everyone was rocking Bavarian attire & tending to the suckling pig that was spinning quite happily outside. I returned after 10pm from the Wok+Wine event & said pig was still roasting.  Inside, the […]

East Village Underrepresented At Restaurant Week

Restaurant Week (July 11th-24th, so technically not a week) is normally at time when I get giddy like a kid in a candy store, excited by all the possibilities of food I could otherwise not afford. $24.07 gets you lunch & $35.00 will mean a full 3 course dinner, what’s not to love?  So, looking […]

Jimmy’s No. 43 on 7th Street will be hosting an all you can eat local oyster bash from 5-10pm this Thursday.  They will be serving a wide range of both wild & farmed Long Island oysters including ‘Naked Cowboys’ provided by Blue Isle Oysters. Drinks cost extra, but you can enjoy any one of the […]

Taste Of Nolita Recap

Last week I attended the Taste Of Nolita Food Festival (previously mentioned here) which ran from Wednesday til Friday & featured 7 restaurants & discounts at a few bars in Nolita.  Luckily I had the chance to go, so I figure I’d let you know my thoughts on the event.  Things kicked off at Asia […]
