The Meatball Factory
Meatballs seem to be ‘trending’ right now, so when I got an invite from McKenzie of MMMGuide to sample some of the food at The Meatball Factory, she didn’t have to ask me twice. The ‘Factory’ opened about 3 months ago & serves salad, pizzas, fettuccine & obviously meatballs.
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. [...]

Shelsky’s Smoked Fish
My friend Peter Shelsky opened a smoked fish store in June of this year. He took a page out of the playbooks of both Russ & Daughters and Zabar’s and set up his appetizing shop in the Carroll Gardens section of Brooklyn. This gave people on this side of the river a place to buy [...]
Scanwiches At JS55 Gallery
I’ve been a massive fan of Jon Chonko’s art project & blog Scanwiches. The process seems pretty simple; buy or make a sandwich, cut it in half, lay it on a scanner, scan. Sounds easy, right, but Jon’s work is so detailed & startlingly beautiful that I’m sure it takes some time & effort. I [...]
Taste Of Nolita Recap
Last week I attended the Taste Of Nolita Food Festival (previously mentioned here) which ran from Wednesday til Friday & featured 7 restaurants & discounts at a few bars in Nolita. Luckily I had the chance to go, so I figure I’d let you know my thoughts on the event. Things kicked off at Asia [...]
Taste of Nolita Food Festival
Sort of like the Taste of 7th Street Food Festival that I’ve spoken about before, Scoop St. is bringing us a Nolita version. Honestly, I’ll admit that I don’t know that much about restaurants in the area, but it’s not too far from the East Village & the lineup does look sick. A mere $19 [...]
East Village Eats Tasting Tour 2010
I suppose with this year’s East Village Eats just around the corner (info here), it was time that I wrote a recap of the awesome time that I had the year before. It was 8 months almost to the day ago, but I took loads of pictures & several pages of notes, so I’ll try [...]
Sunny & Annie
I doubt that there’s an East Village resident that at hasn’t bought a sandwich from Sunny & Annie whether it was on the way home from work, or stumbling around drunk on Avenue B. My first experience with Sunny & Annie was in late 2001 when I needed some milk. I figured that it was [...]
E & S Wholesome Foods Already Falling Apart
E & S Wholesome Foods, the snazzy-looking bodega that opened recently at 226 East 7th street at Avenue C is already looking a bit ragged. There has been some serious ‘signage slippage’ lately. I’ve been in there a few times & I think it’s a great new addition to the neighborhood & the prices are [...]
