A Hot Mess on Hester Street
Yesterday’s Grub Street Food Festival was a colossal disaster. Hosted by New York Magazine in the same space as the Hester Street Fair (Hester & Essex), the tiny area was packed with eager foodies & virtually impossible to navigate. The entire event was totally unenjoyable. I took a few steps in, turned 180 & scuttled […]
Not to be confused with…
I’ve been hearing a lot about the Fourth Arts Block ‘East Village Eats’ self-guided tour of 15 East Village restaurants.

I did review the brunch there back in May (not very favorably), but I have as yet to have dinner. Anyway; Happy Birthday […]
