Kafana Revisited

I reviewed Kafana for the first time about a year ago & it has become a place that I eat at regularly.  I’ll admit that I didn’t know much about Serbian food back then & I feel like I’m in a better position to talk about the dishes there.  The restaurant serves up a lot […]

Kasadela

Honestly, when I think of I traditional Japanese food in the East Village, Avenue C doesn’t immediately come to mind. I’d been a regular at the restaurant years ago & pretty much forgotten about it until last week.  Luckily the food is still as good as I remember. Nestled in an area where you’re more likely to […]

Cooking Demo At Affaire

Here Comes Irene!

I’ve been mining Twitter & local bloggers to compile a list of East Village establishments that will be closed this weekend.  Pretty much every grocery store is reporting massive lines at the registers (Fine Fare on C was a mess last night) so I’m not going to bother with those. International Bar & Coal Yard: Closed. […]

Zum Schneider Turns 11

Despite the rain yesterday, the gang at Zum Schneider celebrated their 11th birthday in grand style.  I passed by around 7pm & everyone was rocking Bavarian attire & tending to the suckling pig that was spinning quite happily outside. I returned after 10pm from the Wok+Wine event & said pig was still roasting.  Inside, the […]
