Kambi Ramen House Revisited
With the weather being so hellishly cold recently (don’t get me started on the snow), I thought it would be a good idea to take another look at Kambi Ramen House. I know that Minca is much more centrally placed in the East Village & that the menus are basically the same, but Kambi does […]
The Meatball Factory (Closed)
Meatballs seem to be ‘trending’ right now, so when I got an invite from McKenzie of MMMGuide to sample some of the food at The Meatball Factory, she didn’t have to ask me twice. The ‘Factory’ opened about 3 months ago & serves salad, pizzas, fettuccine & obviously meatballs.
Bobwhite Counter
I tend to keep my ears open about new restaurants whenever possible, so after the closure of Singa’s Famous Pizza a few months ago, I was hoping that something would quickly take it’s place. It took 10 months, but now we have a new lunch & supper spot (brunch in the works) on Avenue C. […]
Vinegar Hill House
Named after a small, largely unknown, area near DUMBO, Vinegar Hill House can be pretty hard to find. It’s quite a walk from the York Street F stop, so I decided to take a cab. Even my driver had a tough time finding the place. Once I got there though, things got even more confusing as there’s no […]
Zoe
While I hate to see restaurants close, I guess that there’s only so much room in the city. When Satsko Eldridge shut its doors in February, it gave Chef Zoe Feigenbaum (from Bravo TV’s Chef Academy) the opportunity to take over the space. I’ll admit that I didn’t know much about the new restaurant & the chef, […]
The Toucan And The Lion
A few weeks ago I mentioned that a new restaurant was opening in the former Mara’s Homemade spot on 6th Street. I had a chance to check the place out last night & I’ll admit that I was very impressed. It’s really hard to believe that this is the same space, gone are the purple […]
Upstate
If you haven’t noticed, I’m a massive fan of oysters. There’s just something about the process that has a special place in my heart. We’re blessed to have a bunch of great oyster spots in the East Village, but newcomer Upstate has jumped in feet first & made quite an impression.
The Brooklyn Star
I don’t travel to Brooklyn that much, but dinner at The Brooklyn Star with friends seemed too good to pass up. I was busy eating junk food at home when I got a text inviting me to dinner. Obviously, I had to look at the menu online first, but once I saw Fried Pig Tail, […]
Bond Street Revisited
I’ve been going to Bond Street for about 10 years now. Opting for the downstairs lounge as friends of mine have worked there, I’ve always had a good time. Not to be cheating on my East Village sushi mainstay, Takahachi, but Bond St. takes it to another level entirely. My last two visits with my […]
The Toucan & The Lion Coming to the East Village?
I passed by the former Mara’s Homemade spot at 342 East 6th Street yesterday & a worker was busy painting the exterior (primer possibly?). I cannot confirm the association with Artichoke Pizza, but my spies tell me it’s going to be an Asian gastropub. More news as it develops. Full review here. DNAinfo has a […]
