Totto Ramen
It’s no real secret that I’m a huge Ramen fan, but I don’t often venture far out of the East Village. A few weeks ago, I was going to a show at Terminal 5, so it was the perfect opportunity to head uptown & check out Totto Ramen. I’ve heard horror stories about massive lines [...]
Sa Aming Nayon
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m no expert in Filipino food, in fact, my visit to Maharlika last year was the only time I’ve ever tried the cuisine. I had heard good things about the food there & was feeling adventurous had a coupon to use, so I decided to give Sa Aming Nayon [...]
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 [...]
Bobwhite Counter
I tend to keep my ears open about new restaurants whenever possible, so after the closure of Singa’s Famous Pizza a few months ago, I was hoping that something would quickly take it’s place. It took 10 months, but now we have a new lunch & supper spot (brunch in the works) on Avenue C. [...]
Vinegar Hill House
Named after a small, largely unknown, area near DUMBO, Vinegar Hill House can be pretty hard to find. It’s quite a walk from the York Street F stop, so I decided to take a cab. Even my driver had a tough time finding the place. Once I got there though, things got even more confusing as there’s no [...]
The Brooklyn Star
I don’t travel to Brooklyn that much, but dinner at The Brooklyn Star with friends seemed too good to pass up. I was busy eating junk food at home when I got a text inviting me to dinner. Obviously, I had to look at the menu online first, but once I saw Fried Pig Tail, [...]
FAB’s East Village Eats Tasting Tour Recap
Although being postponed for a few months & having to try to outdo the 2010 event, this year’s East Village Eats Tour run by Fourth Arts Block did not disappoint. I realize that I’m a few weeks late, but I had such a great time that the memories & flavors are still fresh in my [...]
Avenue C Braces For Impakt
Avenue C, an area of the East Village packed with quaint, tree-lined streets bars, is getting ready for more of the same. Oktoberfest starts today & Zum Schneider opened at 11am for the celebrations to start. So put on your lederhosen & get ready to hear live music and drink a lot of beer. If [...]
Hill Country
After the restaurant my sister selected for a lunch date turned out to be a complete disaster, I decided to take the reins & choose where we’d eat. After a few suggestions via Twitter, Hill Country in Chelsea got the nod. Once you enter the place, it’s almost as if you’ve been transported to Texas. [...]
