Verso
So, Verso had their opening last night (see EVGrieve), so I went by today to see what was going on. Formerly Caffee Pepe Rosso (which I loved), then Caffe Cotto (not so much), the space was completely gutted & rebuilt from the ground up. I stopped by around 4 o’clock thinking the place was open, […]
Satsko Now Serving Brunch
Well, it’s not really breaking news, but for the past few months Sake Bar Satsko (review) has been serving brunch on the weekends (not many people seem to know this). I had a chance to go with some friends, so here’s the rundown. The brunch menu at Satsko is a smaller version of their regular […]
Sunny & Annie
I doubt that there’s an East Village resident that at hasn’t bought a sandwich from Sunny & Annie whether it was on the way home from work, or stumbling around drunk on Avenue B. My first experience with Sunny & Annie was in late 2001 when I needed some milk. I figured that it was […]
Takahachi Continues To Impress
I’ve never been shy about how much I love Takahachi, it’s by far my favorite spot in the East Village when I’m craving some fresh raw fish. I’ve been going there pretty much ever since I moved to the East Village 10 years ago & it’s been the go to sushi spot for me & […]
New name & more for former Caffe Cotto
We’ve been eagerly watching 127 Avenue C which was formerly Caffe Cotto (& Cafe Pepe Rosso before that) & I passed by today only to find that they now have a new name; Verso. I wasn’t able to take a peek inside as workers were blocking the doorway, but there seems to b a lot […]
Remedy Diner Kicks It Up A Notch
Because nothing says ‘I Love You Mom’ like a meal at a diner, Remedy Diner in the LES has brought their ‘A’ Game & is offering a free glass of wine or dessert with your meal this Sunday. If you’re Mom is anything like mine, that’s a guaranteed ass-whoopin’. Remedy Diner is 345 Houston Street at Norfolk […]
2nd Annual Taste Of 7th St. Recap
I love my city, New York. I love my neighborhood, the East Village. And even more & more I love my street, 7th Street (before there’s an uproar, I do realize that some of the restaurants are not on 7th Street). I reported earlier about the 2011 Taste of 7th St. I went this year […]
Edi & The Wolf Has A Patio?
I still haven’t been to the new Austrian restaurant Edi & The Wolf (102 Avenue C at 7th St.) yet, but I’ll admit that I really do want to check it out. A few days ago, Grubstreet (via NY1) reports that their back patio should be opening any day now. There aren’t any pictures yet, […]
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 […]
Work Continues at 127 Avenue C
The gutting of 127 Avenue C at 8th street (currently Cotto, formerly Caffe Peppe Rosso) is in full swing & I passed by yesterday to see that there seems to be some external work going on. The place has been torn down to the studs & was talking to a few locals next door at […]
