East Village Eats

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

Marco Polo Cafe (Closed)

After the folks @SaintDelivery mentioned the amazing $1 Sliders at Marco Polo Cafe (102 St. Marks, near 1st Avenue) I decided that I had to try them out for myself.  Needless to say, I’ve been there 3 times in the last 4 days; AMAZING.  Named after the famed Venetian explorer that opened up the Chinese […]

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 […]

InBundles.com clued me up to a 50% off coupon for Tonda.  Formerly E.U, Tonda serves up top-notch pizza from their sick stone oven.  Other dishes include seafood, pasta & more.  $10 gets you $20 worth of food/drinks.  There’s 17 hours left so get on it! Photo via GrandLifeNYC

Cafetasia East Revisited

Cafetasia East (85 Avenue A between 5th & 6th streets) has slightly updated their 12:30-5PM Happy Hour Menu, so I’ll give you the lowdown.  I went there with my Dad a few weeks ago & as usual it wasn’t busy at all.  The first thing that we noticed was that a pint of Sapporo was […]

Je’Bon

Normally, when I think of sushi, the last place I think to look is along St. Marks as there is so much to choose from in the area , but it was sort of early, so I met a friend at Je’Bon (15 St. Marks near 2nd Avenue). I had been there before for lunch […]

Cafetasia East

After mocking Cafetasia (85 Avenue A between 5th & 6th streets) earlier for being ‘just another’ Thai restaurant on the Ave., I went there today with a friend for some Happy Hour (more like Happy Day! 12:30-5pm) food.  I can’t remember the name of the spot that used to be here, but Cafetasia did a […]
