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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
