Idle Hands Taking Over Station B

Idle Hands, the “Bourbon, Beer & Rock” bar that has been in the basement of 25 Avenue B for the past few years will be taking over the upstairs bar with was previously Station B.  Word has it that it’ll be pretty much business as usual with the upstairs having the same excellent selection of […]

Boulton & Watt

Like many other East Villagers I was sad to see Nice Guy Eddies close.  The KISS mural outside was a bit of a neighborhood landmark, the food wasn’t the best (I was a fan of the wings) and the place was pretty dingy, but it was a chill place to get a beer & watch […]

Mighty Quinn’s BBQ

Normally when I think of good barbecue the first thing that comes to mind is a rundown old shack down south with a potbellied pitmaster that has been smoking meat for the best part of his life, not the epicenter of the East Village.  Mighty Quinn’s BBQ (which began at Smorgasburg) hopes to change that with […]

St. Dymphna’s

Reminding me of my school years in England, St. Dymphna’s brings an awesome Irish flair to the East Village.  Ice-cold Guinness, a no nonsense menu & an awesome staff totally round out this Irish Pub in the East Village.  I’ve been going there for a few years & the place just seems to get better […]

5th Street Deli Opens On Ave. C

Last week, 5th St. Deli opened at 66 Avenue C (sharing the building with Casa Adela) so I stopped by to check it out.  I did a bit of research Googling & found out that this was the former home of Azukar Deli.  It’s basically your average deli/bodega with a counter offering breakfast, sandwiches & […]

Alphabet City Beer Co. Opens

Work began in early February of this year & Alphabet City Beer Co. finally opened today.  Housed in the former CHP Hardware space, you’d hardly recognize it now.  Owners Dave & Zach opened at noon today & I arrived with a few other locals to check the place out.  The first thing that strikes you […]

Little Town NYC

I couyld eat oysters pretty much all day long, so it’s no surprise that I was looking forward to a meal with my Mom at Little Town NYC. Opened in April 2011, it’s basically a 72 seat mecca of local beef, shellfish & beer.  All of the shellfish & beer are from New York State & Hudson […]
