Mercadito
The details on this post might be slightly sketchy because I’m recounting events from several weeks ago, but here goes… I went for an impromptu dinner with 3 buddies to Mercadito (179 Avenue B between 11th & 12th street) for some upscale Mexican food. It was early & the place wasn’t heaving yet (it can […]

Yakiniku West
A few weeks ago, a group of drunks & foodies (I fall into both categories) descended on 9th street to eat, booze & celebrate Dan‘s birthday at Yakiniku West (218 East 9th St. between 2nd & 3rd Avenue). Yakiniku is a Japanese Steakhouse, complete with a no shoe policy, loads of wood paneling, sunken seating […]
Kafana
Serbian food really isn’t a cuisine that I know much about or search out, but I’m always eager to try new things which is why I’m glad that we have Kafana (116 Avenue C between 7th & 8th street). I reviewed Kafana back in 2008 on my previous blog Thursday Club NYC & had thoroughly […]
What’s going on at East Village Cheese?
I went to East Village Cheese (review here) a few days ago to stock up on a few staples & I can’t help but think that something has changed there. A few staples that myself & other family members buy (Boursin & Saga blue cheese, both running at an insanely cheap $1.50 for 8oz.) are […]

Bovine Burglary!
Bessie, the beloved mascot of Aussie eatery The Sunburnt Cow (137 Avenue C between 8th & 9th streets, brunch review here) has been cownapped! Some time between 2 & 4am last Sunday she was stolen for the 2nd time from her perch at the front of the restaurant. They are offering a $500 reward for […]
Kuboya Ramen
A few days ago I talked about Kuboya Ramen that popped up right next door to Minca, the much loved reigning champ on the block. I questioned whether or not we need another Ramen spot on 5th street. Well, I decided to check out Kuboya for myself & here’s my review.

Marco Polo Cafe Now Mini Burger
Marco Polo Cafe (102 St Mark’s Place near 1st Avenue, review here), my go to spot for $1 bison sliders shuttered for a few days, got a bit of a new paint job & signage & has reopened as Mini Burger. They still serve the same sliders, but the price has been jacked up fifty […]
