Bovine Burglary!
Bessie, the beloved mascot of Aussie eatery The Sunburnt Cow (137 Avenue C between 8th & 9th streets, brunch review here) has been cownapped! Some time between 2 & 4am last Sunday she was stolen for the 2nd time from her perch at the front of the restaurant. They are offering a $500 reward for […]
Marco Polo Cafe Now Mini Burger
Marco Polo Cafe (102 St Mark’s Place near 1st Avenue, review here), my go to spot for $1 bison sliders shuttered for a few days, got a bit of a new paint job & signage & has reopened as Mini Burger. They still serve the same sliders, but the price has been jacked up fifty […]
Ramen Row!
Is there a Ramen War shaping up on 5th Street between Avenue A & B? In one corner we have the reigning Champ, Minca Ramen Factory & in the other we have a newcomer, Kuboya Ramen (in the old Le Gamin space). I’m glad to see that something is going into this address, but do […]
Casimir now offering half portions
If you haven’t been to Casimir (103-105 Avenue B @6-7th St.) in a while & are squinting at the menu thinking you’re seeing things, trust me, you’re not. Although it’s been in effect for some time, Casimir have recently reprinted their menus with pricing for the new ‘mini’ sized dishes in green. 50% of the […]
Breaking; Satsko’s serving up Pork Ramen!
Ok, so it’s not really ‘Breaking News’ because I’ve been hearing it along the grapevine for a week & have even seen a Facebook status update or two regarding this matter, but Sake Bar Satsko (202 East 7th St. Previously reviewed here) will be offering up Pork Ramen Specials on the nights that owner, Sastsko […]
Something Wicked This Way Comes
I talked yesterday about the possibilities of a new restaurant taking over 102 Avenue C & I think I was right. I passed by today & the ‘Mr. C’s Italian Trattoria’ lettering has been scraped off of the window. Looking forward to seeing what will be going in there.

You may have noticed the lack of posts recently, but I’ve been in the process from moving from the WordPress.com platform, to the self-hosted WordPress.org. This will allow me to use Javascript, add videos & use other, more robust features. All in all, this should improve the experience here at East Village Eats. Hopefully I’ll […]
Casa Adela Shuttered by DOH
The Department of Health has continued their ‘onslaught’ of the East Village & shuttered Pueroto Rican mainstay Casa Adela (66 Avenue C near 5th Street) two days ago. As the sign indicates, the fridges were not at the proper temperature. Hopefully they’ll sort this out soon & return to do what they do best; serving […]
More Content Coming Soon
With NYU students coming back to the hood in massive throngs (have you seen Third Avenue? It’s a gigantic clusterfuck! No, really…), I’ve decided to start reviewing bars as well. What goes better with food than booze? If there’s anything I know better than where to eat, it’s where to get hammered. Obviously this is […]
