Takahachi Continues To Impress
I’ve never been shy about how much I love Takahachi, it’s by far my favorite spot in the East Village when I’m craving some fresh raw fish. I’ve been going there pretty much ever since I moved to the East Village 10 years ago & it’s been the go to sushi spot for me & […]
New name & more for former Caffe Cotto
We’ve been eagerly watching 127 Avenue C which was formerly Caffe Cotto (& Cafe Pepe Rosso before that) & I passed by today only to find that they now have a new name; Verso. I wasn’t able to take a peek inside as workers were blocking the doorway, but there seems to b a lot […]
Remedy Diner Kicks It Up A Notch
Because nothing says ‘I Love You Mom’ like a meal at a diner, Remedy Diner in the LES has brought their ‘A’ Game & is offering a free glass of wine or dessert with your meal this Sunday. If you’re Mom is anything like mine, that’s a guaranteed ass-whoopin’. Remedy Diner is 345 Houston Street at Norfolk […]
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, […]
Petite Abeille Revisited
After the amazing meal my family had at Petite Abeille (401 East 20th Street at 1st Avenue) last summer, I decided to go back on with my mother on a lazy Saturday. As soon as we entered the restaurant, I could feel a change in the vibe from our previous visit. There were strollers everywhere […]
Dorian Gray
Dorian Gray (205 East 4th Street between Avenue A & B) is a relative newcomer to the East Village food scene & I had a chance to eat there twice over the past week & I’ll admit that I really like the joint. Once I found out that they serve a Full Irish Breakfast all […]
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 […]
Spice Cove
With so many Indian restaurants along Curry Row (East 6th street between 1st & 2nd Avenue), I really don’t know why I don’t eat more Indian food. Maybe it’s because I spent so much time in England where curry is basically an art-form & I’ve been unable to find really great Indian food here in […]
Mini Burger Shutters
Mini Burger (102 St. Marks, near 1st Avenue, formerly Marco Polo Cafe) has been seized by Marshal’s (image) & is no longer open. It’s a real shame as they made awesome Bison Sliders.
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 […]
