Scanwiches At JS55 Gallery
I’ve been a massive fan of Jon Chonko’s art project & blog Scanwiches. The process seems pretty simple; buy or make a sandwich, cut it in half, lay it on a scanner, scan. Sounds easy, right, but Jon’s work is so detailed & startlingly beautiful that I’m sure it takes some time & effort. I […]
‘Tattoosday’ At Bondi Road
Bondi Road, the Australian restaurant & LES cousin of The Sunburnt Cow has launched ‘Tattoosday’. Under the tagline; “show us your ink and we’ll buy you a drink!” you get a free drink on Tuesdays if you show the bartender your tattoo. Bondi Road also features an Endless Raw Bar on Thursdays for $20 & a pretty impressive burger […]
Economy Candy
Ok, so everyone says that the economy is in the toilet, but when it comes to Economy Candy in the LES, it seems like business is booming. I’ve passed this place a billion times, but I finally decided to stop in after reading Vivienne Gucwa’s excellent post on Nearsay. I’ve heard great things about the […]
Jin Restaurant Revisited
The food at Jin (252 Broome Street between Ludlow & Orchard Street) is way too good for just a single visit, so after a few months away, I went back for a second review. Luckily the Happy Hour special was still in full swing when we arrived. From 3:30-7pm during the week, there are several […]
Vanessa’s Dumpling House
My brother has been trying to take me to Vanessa’s Dumpling House, one of his favorites, for quite some time, but being the lazy git that I am, I always declined. Finally, his pestering got the best of me & I’m so glad it did! I had heard great things about Vanessa’s, particularly the dumplings […]
Satsko Eldridge Closes
Sake Bar Satsko‘s more grownup & fancy sister, Satsko Eldridge (245 Eldridge St. between Houston & Stanton Street), has closed. I knew business there has been slow for quite some time, but on Saturday the rumors were confirmed via a friend & today Bowery Boogie reveals that it’s due to nonpayment of taxes.
An Essential Cheesemonger
The Wall Street Journal published an article online a few days ago (link here) which features Anne Saxelby of Saxelby Cheesemongers pretty heavily. Her cheese shop (which is excellent I might add, but a bit pricey) is located at booth 17 of Essex Street Market (120 Essex Street @ Delancey). It’s an interesting article about […]
A Hot Mess on Hester Street
Yesterday’s Grub Street Food Festival was a colossal disaster. Hosted by New York Magazine in the same space as the Hester Street Fair (Hester & Essex), the tiny area was packed with eager foodies & virtually impossible to navigate. The entire event was totally unenjoyable. I took a few steps in, turned 180 & scuttled […]
Lina Frey
I’d been reading about Lina Frey (201 East Houston at Ludlow Street) the newest French Bistro & Creperie in the LES for some time so I decided to finally check it out for myself. Actually, I had read more about the beer selection & retractable roof than the food, so I was eager to see […]
