Dorian Gray
Dorian Gray (205 East 4th Street between Avenue A & B) is a relative newcomer to the East Village food scene & I had a chance to eat there twice over the past week & I’ll admit that I really like the joint. Once I found out that they serve a Full Irish Breakfast all […]
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 […]
Idle Hands
Idle Hands is a self-proclaimed ‘Bourbon, Beer & Rock’ bar located downstairs at 25 Avenue B (between 2nd & 3rd St.) & honestly that’s as good of a description as you’re going to get. Initially I was somewhat skeptical of the bar because of the brightly lit & eye-catchingly orange Billy Hurricane’s bar that resides […]
Drink & Draw!
Last Wednesday (April 6th) local East Village bar 7B/Horseshoe Bar/Vazacs (108 Avenue B at 7th Street) started a biweekly gathering of artists & locals for Happy Hour drink specials, drawing & conversations on art. On the first & third Wednesdays from 3-7pm (the next one is April 20th) you can sharpen your crayons & head […]
A Return to Goat Town
I’ve been posting quite a bit about Goat Town (511 East 5th Street between Avenue A & B) in the past few months because I really would like to see the restaurant do well. I’ll admit that the food is not ‘knock your socks off’ amazing, but there are a few dishes that they do […]
Zum Schneider Revisited
I poke fun at Zum Schneider (107 Avenue C @ 7th Street) quite a bit due to the noise it generates, massive lines, Oktoberfest Madness & the ‘popped collar’ brunch crowd, but I will admit that I love that place. I live just around the corner on 7th Street & with the weather warming up, […]
Food Parc
Way out of my normal stomping grounds & with possibly the shakiest camera in existence, I headed up to Food Parc (851 Avenue of the Americas at West 30th Street) for some late night food & drinks. I had never been there before or even heard of it. I was pleasantly surprised to find a […]
Lunch At Vandaag (Closed)
[Looking at the pictures, you might think I mean Liquid Lunch, but trust me, I don’t!] Funnily enough, the first time I came to Vandaag was at lunch, I’ve somehow managed to post my reviews in reverse order; Dinner here, Dessert here. It was pretty empty (actually I think that there was only one other […]
JoeDoe’s ‘Prepared Beers’ Get a nod from Bruni
Frank Bruni of the NY Times Dining & Wine section gave 2 thumbs up to JoeDoe‘s (45 East 1st Street between 1st & 2nd Avenue) beer cocktails, in particular, the Honey Beer Cocktail. Served in a salt-rimmed Pilsner glass, it’s made up of Dale’s Pale Ale, both lemon juice and jest & DH Krahn gin. […]
Bond St
I’m going to start by saying that this is a post about the lounge downstairs at Bond St (6 Bond Street between Broadway & Lafayette) & not the restaurant upstairs. The food comes from the same kitchen, but the dining experience can be as different as night & day (more on that later). I’ve been […]
