JoeDoe’s ‘Prepared Beers’ Get a nod from Bruni
Frank Bruni of the NY Times Dining & Wine section gave 2 thumbs up to JoeDoe‘s (45 East 1st Street between 1st & 2nd Avenue) beer cocktails, in particular, the Honey Beer Cocktail. Served in a salt-rimmed Pilsner glass, it’s made up of Dale’s Pale Ale, both lemon juice and jest & DH Krahn gin. […]
I’m Glad I’m Not The Only One That Doesn’t Like Butter Lane
I’ve been screaming to the Heavens & telling anyone who would listen about my dislike of Butter Lane‘s cupcakes. I half expected there to be a backlash due to the fact that everyone seems to love the place. Personally, I find them to be insanely sweet, not just ‘oh that’s a bit sweet‘, but more […]
Fire Ravages 6th Street Kitchen
In a perfect example of how NOT to start 2011, a fire engulfed 6th Street Kitchen (507 East 6th Street between Avenue A & B) & the 2 apartments above yesterday at 7:30 am. 1 fireman was injured, but all residents got out. A second fire broke out at 9:40 am & residents were evactuated […]
Northern Spy Gets Some NY Times Love.
The New York Times released it’s list of ‘Inexpensive Restaurants That Stood Out in 2010‘ & Northern Spy Food Co. (511 East 12th St. between A & 1st Ave. review here) made the cut. It’s already on my list of go to restaurants in the East Village, even though I’ve only been there once (a […]
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 […]
An Essential Cheesemonger
The Wall Street Journal published an article online a few days ago (link here) which features Anne Saxelby of Saxelby Cheesemongers pretty heavily. Her cheese shop (which is excellent I might add, but a bit pricey) is located at booth 17 of Essex Street Market (120 Essex Street @ Delancey). It’s an interesting article about […]
Fresh coat of paint for Zaitzeff?
Maybe I’m losing my mind, but I could have sworn that super-duper awesome East Village burger spot Zaitzeff had a black/dark facade. I walked by today & this is what it looks like now. Feng Shui maybe? I’m not sure, nor do I think it’s more enticing. The burgers there, however, are really freakin’ good […]
Happy Halloween!
Luke’s Lobster (review here) is offering 10% off rolls & combo meals if you come dressed as a lobster, crab or shrimp (babies & pets included)! This discount applies to both locations. I doubt they make Empress crab claw or clam chowder outfits but who knows! On a side note, this is Luke’s last weekend […]
What’s going on at East Village Cheese?
I went to East Village Cheese (review here) a few days ago to stock up on a few staples & I can’t help but think that something has changed there. A few staples that myself & other family members buy (Boursin & Saga blue cheese, both running at an insanely cheap $1.50 for 8oz.) are […]
Pardon The Mess
I’ve finally moved to the self-hosted WordPress platform (something I should have done from day one, apparently Momma did raise a fool) so the site is looking kinda funky right now. I’m going to pay someone to fix it up all purdy as soon as possible, so I’m sorry for any broken links, HTML errors […]
