East Village Eats

Food & Drink recommendations straight from the East Village, New York City

Roast Chicken Sandwich from Frank Restaurant

I’m feeling pretty lucky at the moment as I won another free lunch from Frank Restaurant a few days ago. @frankrestauant on Twitter, if you’re the first to retweet, you get a free lunch that varies daily.  I’m never one to pass up a free meal so I humbly accepted, I love the food at […]

Ten Ten

I hate to say it, but I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to trust my parents’ dining recommendations again. A few weeks ago they ate at Ten Ten (413 2nd Avenue at 24th Street) & raved about how nice they were & how good the meal was. We decided to order delivery […]

Station Diner

I’m adding this entry because I carry my camera everywhere & insist on taking pictures of any food that I do eat.  I rang in 20011 in Carroll Gardens at Brooklyn Social, a few hours after my epic first meal at Goat Town.  After a lot of booze & a bar crawl through the Gowanus […]

Butchering Demo & Meal @ Back Forty

One of my go-to restaurants in the East Village, Back Forty (190 Avenue B @ 12th Street, coverage here) will be offering a lamb butchering demo by chef Shanna Pacifico (check out this awesome video of her butchering beef on Food Curated).  A small group of 12 will watch Shanna butcher an entire lamb then […]

Life Cafe

A few weeks ago, Life Cafe (343 East 10th Street at Avenue B) had a competition on Twitter (@LifeCafe), it was a simple multiple choice question & if you got it right, you won a free bottle of champagne.  Well, I answered correctly & descended on the place with a few friends for dinner.

Brunch at Jane

There are plenty of places to go to brunch in the East Village, but I traveled to Greenwich Village with a friend to check out Jane for some Bloody Marys & food.  I’ve been there before for dinner a long time ago, so I was excited to check out brunch there, particularly because I know the […]

Food Parc

Way out of my normal stomping grounds & with possibly the shakiest camera in existence, I headed up to Food Parc (851 Avenue of the Americas at West 30th Street) for some late night food & drinks.  I had never been there before or even heard of it.  I was pleasantly surprised  to find a […]

Goat Town

After the awesome New Year’s Eve dinner (review here) I had at Goat Town (511 East 5th Street between Avenue A & B), I knew that I had to go back to check out the regular menu.  I recently found out that Gotham is Anglo-Saxon for Goat Town, so I’m guessing that that’s where the […]

Lunch At Vandaag (Closed)

[Looking at the pictures, you might think I mean Liquid Lunch, but trust me, I don’t!] Funnily enough, the first time I came to Vandaag was at lunch, I’ve somehow managed to post my reviews in reverse order; Dinner here, Dessert here.  It was pretty empty (actually I think that there was only one other […]

Yaffa Cafe

This is a bit of a nostalgic post for me as I used to go to Yaffa Cafe (97 Saint Marks Pl at 1st Avenue) a lot when I first moved into the ‘hood in late 2001.  I preferred it over nearby 7A & Sidewalk Cafe for late night (they’re 24 hours) food. I returned […]
