Polpettone from Frank Restaurant
I felt the need to add this post as I won Frank Restaurant’s daily lunch giveaway (@frankrestauant on twitter), if you’re the first to retweet, you get a free lunch. I’m literally devouring it right now & typing in between bites. Polpettone is basically a rolled meatloaf, Frank serves it with a marinara sauce & […]
Brunch At VBar
Shortly after attempting to go to the Grub Street Food Festival, a friend & I spent ages trying to find a brunch spot in the LES, Schiller’s, Essex Restaurant & Spitzer’s Corner were all Ram Jam, so we ended up at Vbar (132 1st Avenue at Saint Marks Place)Bar. A complete disaster ensued. VBar is […]
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 […]

I’m not entirely sure what the occasion was (nor do I really need one), but a few months back myself & 2 friends got dressed up in suits & ties (unheard of for us slackers) & headed to Locanda Verde (377 Greenwich Street @N Moore Street). Located in Tribeca, this Italian tavern has been getting […]
Paradiso
After spending a lot of time going to 9th Street Espresso for my daily coffee, I’ve decided that Paradiso (105 Avenue B at 7th Street) is a much better option. Open since Feb. 2009 it’s a small space (formerly Bang-On) with a few seats & tables, but it is generally never crowded & offers free […]
Frank Restaurant
I’ve been going to Frank Restaurant for some time now, but I’ve never gotten around to blogging the restaurant. On a warm afternoon I returned with a few friends & my camera in tow. We sat by the bar & began by ordering some Antipasto; Olives with oil, spices & orange zest, hearty bread, sausage […]
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 […]
