East Village Eats

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

Brunch at Northern Spy Food Co.

I’m literally reeling from my visit to Northern Spy Food Co. (511 East 12th Street between A & 1st Avenue) a few hours ago.  This is by far the quickest ‘plate-to-blog’ update yet!  I’ve been wanting to go here for a long time & finally found someone else that was interested as well.  Specializing in […]

Royale

Eager to continue my unabashed assault on burger joints in the East Village, I went to Royale (157 Avenue C @ 10th Street).  This has become one of my favorite burger bars in the ‘hood, but I’ve always been sans camera (or mental capacity) to actually blog it.  Luckily for you, I had both on […]

Fishmonger coming to East Village

According to EVGrieve, a seafood restaurant & fishmonger will be opening up at 171 Avenue A @11th street.  As you can well imagine, this is a major bonus for us seafood lovers in the East Village, we’ve been without a fishmonger for some time! According to the owner/operator; I am planning on opening a seafood […]

Bacon Bash!

Tomorrow (Wednesday March 31st) is the Bacon Bash @6:30pm at the Village Pourhouse (64 3rd Avenue @11th Street).  $30 gets you 2 hours of pure bacon gold!  According to The NYC Menu Girl; Taste a selection of three kinds of bacon: applewood bacon, honey smoked and thick ol’smokehouse bacon. Our bacon buffet includes Bacon Popcorn, […]

Brunch at Esperanto

Esperanto’s brunch is one of my favorite destinations on the weekends.  If the weather is nice enough it has outdoor seating & they open the outer doors, giving the space the really airy feeling.  For $10, you get coffee or tea, a drink (typical brunch fare; Screwdriver, Mimosa, Bloody Mary, etc.) & a dish of […]

Je’Bon

Normally, when I think of sushi, the last place I think to look is along St. Marks as there is so much to choose from in the area , but it was sort of early, so I met a friend at Je’Bon (15 St. Marks near 2nd Avenue). I had been there before for lunch […]

Brunch at Back Forty

So I’m sitting (drinking) at my local watering hole (7B) a few Sundays ago, minding my own business & a friend asks me if I wanted to go to brunch.  I said no, because I was more interested in getting hammered, but then he uttered 3 magical words; Pork Jowl Nuggets.  Needless to say, moments […]

Caffe Pepe Rosso Closes

Caffe Pepe Rosso (127 Avenue C @ 6th street), the East Village outpost of the popular Sullivan St. Italian eatery has shuttered & now become Cotto Restaurant & Caffe.  I remember seeing the listing on Tower Realty some time ago, but I never thought anything of it.  Passing by on Sunday, I saw that the […]

Locals Only Deal at Carteles

From March 15th to April 1st, Cuban sandwich shop Carteles (443 East 6th Street @ Avenue A, attached to the yet to open Cienfuegos) will be offering locals (must bring proof of residency; driver’s license, mail, etc.) a sandwich & chips for $5 (reduced from $8.50).  Lunchtime only, 3-7pm.  Get your pressed sandwich on! Image […]

Stromboli Pizza Addition

Much beloved Stromboli Pizza’s (83 St. Marks Place @ 1st Avenue) hideous shitbox addition is apparently open for business.  I don’t mind the pizza there, but you couldn’t pay me to sit in that plywood tinderbox… Further pictures & coverage via Evgrieve. Update (4/11/10); The addition looks a bit less shitty now with signage & coverings.  I […]
