Goat Town
After the awesome New Year’s Eve dinner (review here) I had at Goat Town (511 East 5th Street between Avenue A & B), I knew that I had to go back to check out the regular menu. I recently found out that Gotham is Anglo-Saxon for Goat Town, so I’m guessing that that’s where the […]
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 […]
Yaffa Cafe
This is a bit of a nostalgic post for me as I used to go to Yaffa Cafe (97 Saint Marks Pl at 1st Avenue) a lot when I first moved into the ‘hood in late 2001. I preferred it over nearby 7A & Sidewalk Cafe for late night (they’re 24 hours) food. I returned […]
Free Meatballs?
So I come home late last night after an epic 7 course Thursday Club NYC meal (on a Sunday when the Jets won no less!) & I collect my mail that has been festering in my mailbox for days. Most of it is useless; bank statements, bills, junk mail etc. Then something jumps out at […]
Dessert at Vandaag (Closed)
I was searching Googling for a place to bring a few family members for a late coffee & dessert around New Year’s & Vandaag ended up at the top of the pile. I’ve been there for lunch & dinner before, but I was worried that they’d be packed. It was still busy but luckily for […]
Fu Sushi (CLOSED)
Although I sing the praises of Takahachi, Fu Sushi is another great sushi spot in the East Village. It’s normally not packed to the gills, the staff are friendly & they serve up great food. I’ve been there a bunch of times, so basically here’s a rundown of what’s on offer.
New Year’s Eve at Goat Town
I normally just write off New Year’s Eve as a night where the city will be full of drunken idiots & nothing spectacular would happen. This time, I decided to change the game up, at the last minute & with no reservations I went to Goat Town (511 East 5th Street between Ave. A & […]
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. […]
I’m Glad I’m Not The Only One That Doesn’t Like Butter Lane
I’ve been screaming to the Heavens & telling anyone who would listen about my dislike of Butter Lane‘s cupcakes. I half expected there to be a backlash due to the fact that everyone seems to love the place. Personally, I find them to be insanely sweet, not just ‘oh that’s a bit sweet‘, but more […]
Xi’an Famous Foods
I’ve found myself eating less & less Chinese food recently, mostly because of all of the new restaurants & flavors in the ‘hood & my belief that all Chinese restaurants serve up the same dishes. Not so with Xi’an Famous Foods (81 Saint Marks Place at 1st Avenue), a restaurant which serves food from Xi’an […]
