Brunch At Spina
I’ll admit that I don’t often go to Italian restaurants for brunch (no particular reason), but after my first outing to Spina (review here) & the excellent food we had, I was willing to give it a try. I arrived with two friends late on a Sunday, in fact we were the only ones left […]
Toucan & The Lion Revisited
I first visited back in December (review) and tried a few dishes from what I thought was the full menu. It turns out that that was just the tip of the iceberg & the complete menu is now in full swing. Not much has changed, but there are now 8 shared plates, 5 mains, 5 sides & a […]
Kambi Ramen House Revisited
With the weather being so hellishly cold recently (don’t get me started on the snow), I thought it would be a good idea to take another look at Kambi Ramen House. I know that Minca is much more centrally placed in the East Village & that the menus are basically the same, but Kambi does […]
Bond Street Revisited
I’ve been going to Bond Street for about 10 years now. Opting for the downstairs lounge as friends of mine have worked there, I’ve always had a good time. Not to be cheating on my East Village sushi mainstay, Takahachi, but Bond St. takes it to another level entirely. My last two visits with my […]
Jane Revisited
My first visit to Jane back in January was pretty good, so I jumped at the chance to check the place out again for brunch recently. A friend was celebrating his birthday & there was 11 of us in total, meaning that I’d be able to see more of the menu. Given that we were […]
Kafana Revisited
I reviewed Kafana for the first time about a year ago & it has become a place that I eat at regularly. I’ll admit that I didn’t know much about Serbian food back then & I feel like I’m in a better position to talk about the dishes there. The restaurant serves up a lot […]
Desnuda Revisited
Is it possible for a restaurant to do a complete u-turn? Can a leopard change it’s spots? Honestly, I would have answered no, but I’ve been proven wrong. After the debacle that was my first visit to Desnuda (recounted here), I reluctantly returned this weekend. It was a Sunday, so the dollar oysters that had […]
Yakiniku West Revisited
It’s been several months since I’ve been back to Yakinuki West (review here) so I decided to return with some friends & give the place another try. After removing our shoes, we got a pretty sweet spot towards the back of the restaurant & ordered some beer. I’ve been here several times before, so I […]
Petite Abeille Revisited
After the amazing meal my family had at Petite Abeille (401 East 20th Street at 1st Avenue) last summer, I decided to go back on with my mother on a lazy Saturday. As soon as we entered the restaurant, I could feel a change in the vibe from our previous visit. There were strollers everywhere […]
Zum Schneider Revisited
I poke fun at Zum Schneider (107 Avenue C @ 7th Street) quite a bit due to the noise it generates, massive lines, Oktoberfest Madness & the ‘popped collar’ brunch crowd, but I will admit that I love that place. I live just around the corner on 7th Street & with the weather warming up, […]
