Something Wicked This Way Comes

I talked yesterday about the possibilities of a new restaurant taking over 102 Avenue C & I think I was right.  I passed by today & the ‘Mr. C’s Italian Trattoria’ lettering has been scraped off of the window.  Looking forward to seeing what will be going in there.

Action at 102 Avenue C

102 Avenue C (at 7th street) the long-shuttered former home of Mr C’s Italian Trattoria might be reopening.  Over the past few days, I’ve seen the doors open & people pottering around the place.  I’m really hoping that we get a decent restaurant here as my one & only experience at Mr. C’s was laughable… […]

6th Street Kitchen Launches ‘Slappy Hour’

6th Street Kitchen (507 East 6th Street btwn Avenue A & B) a favorite of mine, is starting up ‘Slappy Hour’ this Monday October 4th.  6-7pm during weekdays, they’ll serve up $2 slider specials.  The specials will change day to day, so follow them on Twitter (@6thStKitchen) to find out what they’re serving up!

Brunch at JoeDoe

I’m not really that big on traditional ‘bacon & egg’ brunches, but when a friend mentioned that JoeDoe (45 East 1st Street between 1st & 2nd Avenues) served duck eggs & not your typical bacon, I jumped at the chance to check it out.  Started 2 years ago by Chef Joe Dobias & partner Jill […]

Casa Adela Shuttered by DOH

The Department of Health has continued their ‘onslaught’ of the East Village  & shuttered Pueroto Rican mainstay Casa Adela (66 Avenue C near 5th Street) two days ago.  As the sign indicates, the fridges were not at the proper temperature.  Hopefully they’ll sort this out soon & return to do what they do best; serving […]

Marco Polo Cafe (Closed)

After the folks @SaintDelivery mentioned the amazing $1 Sliders at Marco Polo Cafe (102 St. Marks, near 1st Avenue) I decided that I had to try them out for myself.  Needless to say, I’ve been there 3 times in the last 4 days; AMAZING.  Named after the famed Venetian explorer that opened up the Chinese […]

6th St. Kitchen Unveils New Fall Menu

6th Street Kitchen (507 East 6th Street between Avenue A & B) has unvieled their fall dinner menu (click picture to enlarge) & it’s looking pretty damn tasty!  I’ve reviewed them berore (here) & have had nothing but good things to say about my dining experience there.  Also noteworthy is that they will be hosting a […]

Arcane Turns 2!

Arcane, the French-Caribbean restaurant,  is celebrating it’s second birthday today.  I just passed by & it looked pretty packed, with party-goers sharing the sidewalk with people drinking at Zum Schneider next door.  I did review the brunch there back in May (not very favorably), but I have as yet to have dinner.  Anyway; Happy Birthday […]

6th Street Kitch Fall Preview Tasting

From 6th Street Kitchen‘s blog (review here); On Friday, September 17th, 6th Street Kitchen will be serving a Fall Preview Tasting before the fall menu debuts on September 22nd. For $45 per person, Chef Gregory Torrech will be serving 7 dishes from the fall menu including Duck Raviolo with Swiss Chard & Raisins, Sweet & […]

Back Forty

I reviewed the brunch at Back Forty (190 Avenue B @ 12th Street) back in March, so I decided that it was time for me to get some dinner there.  I went with my Mom midweek, so we luckily didn’t have to wait for a table even though the place was busy.  We got the […]
