Restaurant Week
Ok, it might have started a few days ago & I’m obviously playing catch up, but there are some great dining options in the East Village for this year’s Restaurant Week. For those who aren’t familiar (Really? Been by a bus stop lately?), this is an annual event that gives us regular folk a chance […]
Zoe
While I hate to see restaurants close, I guess that there’s only so much room in the city. When Satsko Eldridge shut its doors in February, it gave Chef Zoe Feigenbaum (from Bravo TV’s Chef Academy) the opportunity to take over the space. I’ll admit that I didn’t know much about the new restaurant & the chef, […]

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 […]
