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 […]
Fire Ravages 6th Street Kitchen
In a perfect example of how NOT to start 2011, a fire engulfed 6th Street Kitchen (507 East 6th Street between Avenue A & B) & the 2 apartments above yesterday at 7:30 am. 1 fireman was injured, but all residents got out. A second fire broke out at 9:40 am & residents were evactuated […]
All Day Brunch & New Winter Menu @ 6th St. Kitchen
6th Street Kitchen (507 East 6th Street between Avenue A & B, my review here) will be offering an all day brunch on New Years day & have unveiled their new Winter Menu. Update; 6th Street Kitchen Ravaged by Fire.
Northern Spy Gets Some NY Times Love.
The New York Times released it’s list of ‘Inexpensive Restaurants That Stood Out in 2010‘ & Northern Spy Food Co. (511 East 12th St. between A & 1st Ave. review here) made the cut. It’s already on my list of go to restaurants in the East Village, even though I’ve only been there once (a […]
Vandaag (CLOSED)
This post is just evidence of my laziness, I ate here well before Sam Sifton & plenty of other food reporters, but I’ve only just got around to writing my review. Vandaag is a Dutch restaurant & bakery that serves dishes from Northern Europe using locally (Hudson Valley region) sourced ingredients. It’s housed in the former […]
‘Tis the Season for Delivery
Well, I meant to post this yesterday morning when conditions were a lot worse, but I guess it’s still relevant. With the ‘Great Blizzard of 2010’ causing havoc all over the East Village, it’s likely that several restaurants will be shuttered & honestly, I couldn’t fathom why anyone would want to be out in this […]
Satsko Wins Village Voice Nightlife Award
Sake Bar Satsko (my review here) has been voted ‘Best Place for Dinner & a Hangover‘ by the Village Voice & Sound of the City. Well, actually, it tied with some place called Roberta’s, but I don’t know where or what the heck that place is & I don’t really care. I’ve been singing […]
Village Yokocho
It’s funny how a bit of misfortune can turn into a good thing. I had hoped to take my Mom to Ippudo on 4th avenue for some ramen, but the place was packed to the gills, so we headed east & wound up eating at Village Yokocho. Not ramen, but we ended up enjoying ourselves.
New Year’s Eve at Back Forty
One of my favorite restaurants in the East Village, Back Forty (190 Avenue B @ 12th Street, coverage here) is hosting a New Year’s Eve cocktail party. $96 (tickets available here) gets you access from 9pm on New Year’s Eve. They’ll be serving up amazing Hors d’œuvres & bringing in a whole pig & a […]
Casa Adela
Several years ago, I was going to Casa Adela once or twice a week for lunch. I don’t go as much anymore & I honestly cannot figure out why because the food there is excellent. This Puerto Rican restaurant is sparsely decorated with 6 tables nestled in between the service & storage areas. It definitely has a family feel […]
