The Changing Face Of St Marks
There’s been a lot of food-related activity on St Marks recently. Mõtek, a small restaurant serving coffee & crepes has closed according to EVGrieve. I reviewed the place last November & never returned. Honestly Mõtek, won’t be missed. Construction at 119 St Marks continues. The Taco Joint was on the 01/11 CB3-SLA docket. Not sure how […]

I had thought that they might offer outdoor seating, but turns out that they decided to grow herbs out there. I’m not exactly sure what is growing there, but from the picture, I can […]
Desnuda Revisited
Is it possible for a restaurant to do a complete u-turn? Can a leopard change it’s spots? Honestly, I would have answered no, but I’ve been proven wrong.
