Ramen Row!
Is there a Ramen War shaping up on 5th Street between Avenue A & B? In one corner we have the reigning Champ, Minca Ramen Factory & in the other we have a newcomer, Kuboya Ramen (in the old Le Gamin space). I’m glad to see that something is going into this address, but do […]
Lilly Coogan’s to become Coal Yard
Yesterday I bumped into a friend, Steve Schweiger outside the former Lilly Coogan’s space (102 First Avenue @ 6th Street) which shuttered in late May/early June. He’s the general contractor overseeing the renovation there. Word is that the partners from nearby International Bar (120 1/2 First Avenue @7th Street) will be taking the bar over […]
Something Wicked This Way Comes
I talked yesterday about the possibilities of a new restaurant taking over 102 Avenue C & I think I was right. I passed by today & the ‘Mr. C’s Italian Trattoria’ lettering has been scraped off of the window. Looking forward to seeing what will be going in there.
Action at 102 Avenue C
102 Avenue C (at 7th street) the long-shuttered former home of Mr C’s Italian Trattoria might be reopening. Over the past few days, I’ve seen the doors open & people pottering around the place. I’m really hoping that we get a decent restaurant here as my one & only experience at Mr. C’s was laughable… […]
178 7th Street close to opening
I passed by the former Mohamed’s Falafel Star spot (178th 7th Street at Avenue B) today & was lucky enough to run into Otto, the owner of the new joint. He told me that they should be open in 3-4 weeks & that the menu will be mainly healthy food with Eastern European influences. He […]

Fishmonger coming to East Village
According to EVGrieve, a seafood restaurant & fishmonger will be opening up at 171 Avenue A @11th street. As you can well imagine, this is a major bonus for us seafood lovers in the East Village, we’ve been without a fishmonger for some time! According to the owner/operator; I am planning on opening a seafood […]
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 […]
