East Village Eats

Food & Drink recommendations straight from the East Village, New York City

Esperanto Revisited

So after my last review of brunch at Esperanto (review here) where I complained about the Huevos Loisada, I decided to post about the great brunch food there, namely the cheeseburger.  It was my birthday (Yay Me!) so I went with my mother & brother & got a pretty choice seat by the entrance.

Crab Boil @ Mermaid Inn

Mermaid Inn (96 2nd Avenue between 5th & 6th Streets; review here) is having a crab boil this Labor Day weekend.  20 ‘clams’ gets you crab & a mallet.  There are also $20 carafes of wine & $15 pitchers of beer.  Runs Saturday the 4th, Sunday the 5th & Monday the 6th.  Send summer out […]

Sake Bar Satsko

I’m really surprised it’s taken me so long to write a review of Sake Bar Satsko (202 East 7th Street between Ave. B & C), particularly because I live across the street & seem to spend a lot of time eating & drinking there.  It’s a tiny sliver of a place & it took me […]

Zaitzeff

I had some coupons from InBundles so I took my parents to Zaitzeff (18 Avenue B between 2nd & 3rd streets).  I had been there before & tried the BLT, but this was my first time checking out the burgers.  It being a rainy Monday, the place really wasn’t busy.  I opted for the Quarter […]

6th Street Kitchen offering up lunch

Good news foodies, 6th Street Kitchen (507 East 6th Street between Avenues A & B) & their new chef Greg Torrech will be offering up lunch starting August 23rd.  I’ve been here for dinner before, so I’m excited about a new lunch option in the ‘hood. Check ’em out: Lunch Menu & Summer Menu

Introducing The Hopsicle

This was just too choice to ignore. Diable Royale Este (167 Avenue A @ 11th Street) will begin serving up beer popsicles! Take a can of Tecate, add simple syrup, lime & a wooden stick then freeze for 4 days. Your bartender will cut the can in half with a serrated knife. BINGO, instant Hopsicle, […]

Groupon has an excellent deal.  50% off of Tex-Mex food & drinks at Hop Devil Grill (129 St Marks Place @ Avenue A).  $15 gets you $30 worth.  Note that this coupon is available Today Only, but valid till February 10th 2011.  Get on it!

6th Street Kitchen

After passing by several times, I recently went to 6th Street Kitchen (507 East 6th Street between Avenue A & B) with a friend.  I had previously reported that they just started Happy Hour so we arrived there pretty early last Friday (Update; Happy Hour Has been pushed back to Fall, but they will be […]

Mermaid Inn

It’s really hard to find good seafood (particularly oysters), but we’re pretty blessed here in the East Village.  One of my favorites is Mermaid Inn (96 2nd Avenue between 5th & 6th Streets).  They have another location in the UWS & an Oyster Bar in Greenwich Village as well.

Butter Lane Cupcakes

Wanting something sweet after a recent meal with my brother & sister, we went to Butter Lane (123 East 7th Street between Avenue A & 1st Ave.)  It’s a small space with a few seats indoors & the service area & bakery in the back.  It was a warm day so we decided to order […]
