Fast Food Mascots
A pretty funny video of several Fast Food Mascots gone wild. Ronald McDonald, the Burger King, KFC’s Colonel & the Jack in the Box dude get up to no good in a music video for band Rad Omen. Look for a cameo from the chick from Wendy’s in a titty bar! Just so you know, [...]
Dim Sum Go Go
I used to go to Golden Unicorn down the street a lot, but after a really mediocre dining experience, I decided to give Dim Sum Go Go (5 East Broadway) a shot. Boy, I wish I hadn’t. I don’t have that much knowledge of Dim Sum or restaurants in Chinatown & I’m really not sure [...]
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 [...]
Carrot Ginger Soup
With the weather being kinda fickle, I find myself craving soups more & more, so expect a lot of soup recipes on the blog in the near future. I’ve never made this soup, so here goes… 2 tablespoons butter 2 onions, peeled and chopped Half a head of garlic, peeled & chopped 8 cups chicken [...]
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 [...]
Doma Cafe & Gallery
This is way out of my normal stomping grounds, but I stopped by Doma (17 Perry St @7th Avenue) to meet up with some friends. It bills itself as a ‘Cafe & Gallery’ & although there was art on the walls, I really couldn’t have cared less. The place was pretty packed for a Monday [...]

Mini Bar
Looking for a cup of Joe & wanting to try somewhere new, I headed to Mini Bar (131 East 7th Street @Avenue A) with a friend. There have been quite a few stores in that particular spot, but I had really never noticed Mini Bar. First off, the interior is awesome! Lots of exposed wood, [...]
Balade
I’m not the biggest fan of Middle Eastern food & I’ve never had Lebanese food & know very little about it, so I was not sure what to expect when I went to Balade (208 1st Avenue @11th Street) tonight. Being the day after the initial opening, it was empty when we arrived so we [...]
Bacon Caramel Toffee
I recently received a box of Vosges’ Bacon Caramel Toffee as a gift from a foodie friend. Basically I think that any flavor can be enhanced by bacon & desserts/chocolate/toffee is no exception! The toffee & chocolate are both delicious, but it’s the addition of Nueske‘s Applewood Smoked Bacon that puts these tasty little treats [...]
