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

Discovery Wines will spend it’s last day at it’s current location this Saturday.  They plan on reopening at 16 Avenue B (at 2nd Street) on July 1st. In an effort to unload stock before the move, Discovery are offering 30% off of purchases of 12 bottles or more.  They’ve also marked down several bottles by 25%, look for the […]

Sunny & Annie

I doubt that there’s an East Village resident that at hasn’t bought a sandwich from Sunny & Annie whether it was on the way home from work, or stumbling around drunk on Avenue B.  My first experience with Sunny & Annie was in late 2001 when I needed some milk.  I figured that it was […]

Economy Candy

Ok, so everyone says that  the economy is in the toilet, but when it comes to Economy Candy in the LES, it seems like business is booming.  I’ve passed this place a billion times, but I finally decided to stop in after reading Vivienne Gucwa’s excellent post on Nearsay.  I’ve heard great things about the […]

E & S Wholesome Foods Already Falling Apart

E & S Wholesome Foods, the snazzy-looking bodega that opened recently at 226 East 7th street at Avenue C is already looking a bit ragged.  There has been some serious ‘signage slippage’ lately.  I’ve been in there a few times & I think it’s a great new addition to the neighborhood & the prices are […]

M2M

Morning to Midnight, aka M2M, is a bright Asian supermarket packed full of lots of items that you would otherwise have to go to Chinatown or Koreatown to find.  Even if I really don’t need anything, I often find myself going into M2M just to browse the aisles and have a look around.  Before I […]

Murray’s Cheese Shop

I’m actually very upset that it has taken me this long to finally go to Murray’s (254 Bleeker Street off of Leroy St.).  I’m so hooked on East Village Cheese that I neglected to go to one of the city’s best cheese shops but a few weeks ago they were doing a cheese & Kelso […]

East Village Cheese

This place is one of my Favorite guilty pleasures, East Village Cheese consistently serves up the most delicious & affordable cheese ever. Don’t let the exterior (handwritten specials) scare you, inside is an amazing mecca of cheese! This is a no frills store, cash only & lacking in friendly customer service. You go in, choose […]

Fishmonger coming to East Village

According to EVGrieve, a seafood restaurant & fishmonger will be opening up at 171 Avenue A @11th street.  As you can well imagine, this is a major bonus for us seafood lovers in the East Village, we’ve been without a fishmonger for some time! According to the owner/operator; I am planning on opening a seafood […]

Broadway Panhandler

Broadway Panhandler (65 East 8th Street @ Broadway) is pretty much a home cooks wet dream.  I like to think of it as a cross between Crate & Barrel & the restaurant supply stores along the Bowery.  You can find pretty much everything you need here.  I particularly like the knife department in the back […]
