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 […]

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 […]
Takahachi Continues To Impress
I’ve never been shy about how much I love Takahachi, it’s by far my favorite spot in the East Village when I’m craving some fresh raw fish. I’ve been going there pretty much ever since I moved to the East Village 10 years ago & it’s been the go to sushi spot for me & […]
M2M
Morning to Midnight, aka M2M, is a bright Asian supermarket packed full of lots of items that you would otherwise have to go to Chinatown or Koreatown to find. Even if I really don’t need anything, I often find myself going into M2M just to browse the aisles and have a look around. Before I […]
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 […]
Fu Sushi (CLOSED)
Although I sing the praises of Takahachi, Fu Sushi is another great sushi spot in the East Village. It’s normally not packed to the gills, the staff are friendly & they serve up great food. I’ve been there a bunch of times, so basically here’s a rundown of what’s on offer.
Bond St
I’m going to start by saying that this is a post about the lounge downstairs at Bond St (6 Bond Street between Broadway & Lafayette) & not the restaurant upstairs. The food comes from the same kitchen, but the dining experience can be as different as night & day (more on that later). I’ve been […]
