Choice Eats 2012
I’ve been to a few Food Events over the past few years, so it wasn’t my first rodeo, but nothing prepared me for the scale of this year’s Choice Eats tasting event that took place last week. I thought I’d be clever & arrive 15 minutes early to ‘avoid the crowd’, but we were greeted […]

‘Tis the Season for Delivery
Well, I meant to post this yesterday morning when conditions were a lot worse, but I guess it’s still relevant. With the ‘Great Blizzard of 2010’ causing havoc all over the East Village, it’s likely that several restaurants will be shuttered & honestly, I couldn’t fathom why anyone would want to be out in this […]
Mercadito
The details on this post might be slightly sketchy because I’m recounting events from several weeks ago, but here goes… I went for an impromptu dinner with 3 buddies to Mercadito (179 Avenue B between 11th & 12th street) for some upscale Mexican food. It was early & the place wasn’t heaving yet (it can […]
The Rusty Knot
After visiting The Frying Pan, I decided to hit up the nautically-themed Rusty Knot (425 West Street at West 11th St.). It’s a bit out of my normal stomping grounds but I was already on the West Side. I’d been there before for drinks (normally a Tecate & the infamous Pickleback; a shot of pickle […]
Tortilla Flats
I’ve been going to Tortilla Flats for years (since I was a wee pup), but I’ve never had a chance to review the place till now. Luckily, the last time that I went, I had my camera with me so I was able to take a few shots. I’m really not sure how to describe Tortilla […]
La Lucha
I had a chance to check out La Lucha (147 Avenue A) last month (a few days after it had opened) with two friends who had heard about it on Urban Daddy. I was really excited to finally have another viable Mexican option on Avenue A besides Benny’s Burritos & San Loco. The first thing that […]
