Satsko Now Serving Brunch
Well, it’s not really breaking news, but for the past few months Sake Bar Satsko (review) has been serving brunch on the weekends (not many people seem to know this). I had a chance to go with some friends, so here’s the rundown. The brunch menu at Satsko is a smaller version of their regular […]
Edi & The Wolf Has A Patio?
I still haven’t been to the new Austrian restaurant Edi & The Wolf (102 Avenue C at 7th St.) yet, but I’ll admit that I really do want to check it out. A few days ago, Grubstreet (via NY1) reports that their back patio should be opening any day now. There aren’t any pictures yet, […]
Work Continues at 127 Avenue C
The gutting of 127 Avenue C at 8th street (currently Cotto, formerly Caffe Peppe Rosso) is in full swing & I passed by yesterday to see that there seems to be some external work going on. The place has been torn down to the studs & was talking to a few locals next door at […]
E & S Wholesome Foods Already Falling Apart
E & S Wholesome Foods, the snazzy-looking bodega that opened recently at 226 East 7th street at Avenue C is already looking a bit ragged. There has been some serious ‘signage slippage’ lately. I’ve been in there a few times & I think it’s a great new addition to the neighborhood & the prices are […]
Flying Pigs Farm Launches CSA
Normally when I think of CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture), I immediately imaging baskets laden with fresh produce but Washington County, NY’s Flying Pigs Farms is trying to change all that by starting a pork CSA. The heritage breed pork (Large Blacks, Gloucestershire Old Spots, and Tamworths) is currently available at Union Square Greenmarket & served […]
Changes on the horizon for Casimir?
Late last month East Village blogger EVGrieve reported that Casimir (103 Avenue B between 6th & 7th street, review here) was on tonight’s Community Board 3/SLA docket. It turns out that owner Guillaume Blestel has sold the restaurant. I spoke with some of the employees over the weekend & not much is known about the […]
New Posts Coming Soon
You may have noticed that things have been really damn slow around here lately, but I’m back now & I promise that there will be a lot of new content coming soon.
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.

This is a bit of a senseless post & most likely doesn’t belong on the blog, but you can get a $20 Amazon gift Card for $10 here (deal over). Use the savings to buy an awesome Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker (mentioned here). The deal currently has 19 hours left, so get on it folks!
Free Meatballs?
So I come home late last night after an epic 7 course Thursday Club NYC meal (on a Sunday when the Jets won no less!) & I collect my mail that has been festering in my mailbox for days. Most of it is useless; bank statements, bills, junk mail etc. Then something jumps out at […]
