Brunch at Arcane
I’ve been meaning to eat at Arcane for some time, so I jumped at the chance to have brunch there. Arcane is a French-Caribbean restaurant located in the old Bao 111 space. It now sports a larger bar & a simpler seating arrangement. $9.95 gets you coffee, OJ & a choice of a brunch cocktail. […]
Black Iron Burger
I’ll admit that I was very excited when Black Iron Burger (540 East 5th Street at Avenue B) moved into the hood last year, replacing the waste-of-space Bouche Bar. They did a great job on the renovation & now the space has an open feel with seats at the bar, plenty of high tables & […]
Zum Schneider
Zum Schneider (107 Avenue C @ 7th Street) is a Bavarian beer garden (although indoors) that seems perfectly suited for spring and summer. The open, cavernous interior with smooth tree-like walls & foliage gives a great biergarten feel, but the outdoor seating is really what I love. Whenever the weather heats up, the place gets […]
Brunch at Sunburnt Cow
I checked out Sunburnt Cow on a recent weekend for their awesome endless brunch. $18 gets you a brunch item & unlimited brunch drinks or Fosters or Greyhounds. The place is normally pretty packed, as this is one of the best brunch deals in the ‘hood. We were able to snag a seat in the front.
Frank Restaurant
I’ve been going to Frank Restaurant for some time now, but I’ve never gotten around to blogging the restaurant. On a warm afternoon I returned with a few friends & my camera in tow. We sat by the bar & began by ordering some Antipasto; Olives with oil, spices & orange zest, hearty bread, sausage […]
Frying Pan
I got a chance to check out Frying Pan (26th Street & Hudson River Park) the Lightship of the same name & sprawling barge Bar & Restaurant a few weeks ago. It was well worth the wait; a sunny but not too hot mid-April Friday afternoon & luckily the place was no too busy (something […]
Brunch at Northern Spy Food Co.
I’m literally reeling from my visit to Northern Spy Food Co. (511 East 12th Street between A & 1st Avenue) a few hours ago. This is by far the quickest ‘plate-to-blog’ update yet! I’ve been wanting to go here for a long time & finally found someone else that was interested as well. Specializing in […]
Royale
Eager to continue my unabashed assault on burger joints in the East Village, I went to Royale (157 Avenue C @ 10th Street). This has become one of my favorite burger bars in the ‘hood, but I’ve always been sans camera (or mental capacity) to actually blog it. Luckily for you, I had both on […]
Corner Bistro
I’ve been eating a lot of burgers recently, so I jumped at the chance to revisit Corner Bistro, one of my old favorite burger spots. I love the no frills decor, the older bartenders & in particular, the burgers. I ordered some fries to start, but honestly, I wasn’t very impressed with them. It had been […]
Jin Restaurant
With the weather warming up, I decided to head to Jin Restaurant with a few friends for their awesome Happy Hour Special. There’s a vast selection of items (beer, sake, rolls, dumplings, along with cooked items such as yakitori, etc.) are all just $3 during the pre-dinner rush, every day of the week. With so few […]
