Cafetasia East
After mocking Cafetasia (85 Avenue A between 5th & 6th streets) earlier for being ‘just another’ Thai restaurant on the Ave., I went there today with a friend for some Happy Hour (more like Happy Day! 12:30-5pm) food. I can’t remember the name of the spot that used to be here, but Cafetasia did a […]
Casimir
This review might be a bit skewed as I used to live above Casimir (103-105 Avenue B @6-7th St.) from 2001-2005, so I’ll just talk about the recent addition of the Prix Fixe daily from 5:30-7pm. At $20, this is a real steal. The selection of plates are great (I always opt for the Country […]
Taste of 7th Street
5 restaurants on 7th street in the East Village are holding a food event this weekend only. This Saturday & Sunday you can sample food from Luke’s Lobster, Porchetta, Xoom, Butter Lane & Caracas Arepas. Scoop Street has 50% off tickets available today only! $18 gets you $35 worth of food! I’m going & I […]
Singa’s Famous Pizza (Closed)
Regular readers of my blog (yes, both of you…) will know that I’ve been watching the Singas space (94 Avenue C @ 6th Street) quite closely. Well, finally they’ve opened! I stopped by Singas today (formerly at 2nd Avenue) to try the pie out. Let me start by letting you know that this place is […]
Brunch at Yuca Bar
Yuca Bar & Restaurant (111 Avenue A @ 11th street) is quickly becoming one of my go to spots in the neighborhood. A few Saturdays ago, I went there with some friends for Brunch. It being the weekend & all, I had called ahead to ask if it was busy. What we were hoping was […]
Desnuda
I recently went to Desnuda (122 East 7th Street btwn A & 1st Avenue) yesterday with a bunch of friends. We had seen the gigantic $1 Oysters sign outside so were very excited (obviously). The place is pretty nice, it used to be the old Bourgeois Pig & you can tell that they put a […]
Thai at 85 Avenue A
Cafetasia has slid right in at the old Kim’s Video location at 85 Avenue A recently. Following in the footsteps of another Asian-themed restaurant that failed miserably & possibly ignoring the closing of Kion down the street on 6th between A & B. Maybe they just haven’t got the point (or expect more NYU traffic […]
Singas Pizza To Open On Avenue C
Singas Famous Pizza (formerly of 176 2nd Avenue) is setting up shop on Avenue C @6th Street. The signage has been up for quite some time, but this location has yet to be open. I had been to the other location before & if that is any indication, they’re going to have a tough time […]
Mini Bar (Closed)
Looking for a cup of Joe & wanting to try somewhere new, I headed to Mini Bar with a friend. There have been quite a few stores in that particular spot, but I had really never noticed Mini Bar. First off, the interior is awesome! Lots of exposed wood, etc. you can tell that they […]
Balade
I’m not the biggest fan of Middle Eastern food & I’ve never had Lebanese food & know very little about it, so I was not sure what to expect when I went to Balade (208 1st Avenue @11th Street) tonight. Being the day after the initial opening, it was empty when we arrived so we […]
