I LOVE this place.
Let me repeat.
I LOVE this place.
$1.50 homemade cupcakes with names like "Sexy Red Velvet" (red velvet with chocolate icing), "Sassy Red Velvet" (red velvet with vanilla icing), "Ooey Gooey," and "Black and White Just Right"?…More »

Cafe Orlin and I have had some enduring moments. It was there on one of my first dates in the city. It was there with two friends after I had spent the entire day moving from Stanton Street to East 2nd Street (the poor waitress kept having to…More »

Poco is wonderful, and writing this review is reminding me that I should go there more!
They have a sweet little corner on Avenue B and 3rd (I think) and the service is always wonderful, and the food is always fantastic and so, so delicious. I've had…More »

Categories:
Italian,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Lower East Side
Even though according to Adam Platt, meatballs are soooo 2010, I still occasionally feel the driving need for a hunk of warm meaty ball to be in my mouth. Hmm.
Yet every time I find myself here, I am both amazed and apalled at the 1.5 to 2 hour wait…More »

Some people reserve the phrase "loyal devotee" for things like yoga, or juice cleanses, or religions. But no, not me. I reserve the use of this phrase for my local watering holes. And why should they not deserve this type of praise? Ten Degrees…More »

I swear to Christ, I never thought I would see the day the words, "Six dollars for this ice cream cone is quite reasonable," remove themselves from my face, but alas - the day has come.

Hot Dogs
Neighbourhoods: East Village, Alphabet City
Sometimes, after not having had a Crif dog for a while, I'll start having dreams about them. Their juicy goodness, their long smooth feel in my hands, the warm, cheesy liquids squirting into my mouth - wait ... what were we talking about again?
Oh,…More »

Thursday: astute co-worker aware of my southern roots shows me an article on The Cardinal in one of the am commuter papers lying around the office.

I got the biscuits and sausage gravy while she had the sweet…More »
9. Veniero's Pastry Shop
It's easy to see how one could become morbidly obese by eating here frequently.
But GOD it is SO GOOD! Everything in moderation, right?!
I came here after a nice dinner one night not too long ago and it was the perfect touch of sweet that makes a…More »

Le bahn mi est tres bonne!
That means I like the bahn mi here!
The bread is crispy, ingredients taste supa-fresh, and the sriracha is not watered down! (cough cough, Vanessa's dumplings)
Also, reasonably priced and did I mention delicious?
Only…More »
11. Prosperity Dumpling
There are reasons I continue living in a shoebox on the LES.
Times like this, when Prosperity Dumplings pops up 2 blocks away from my apartment, is one of them.
Also, the 4-for-a-dollar dumplings helps save on aforementioned shoebox dimensioned room…More »
12. Shopsin's
Tried this place out on a Wednesday and the wait wasn't that bad. In fact, we got a table right away, but later noticed a line forming about halfway through our meals.
I ordered a throwback to my childhood spent in the south with a sloppy joe and a…More »

$5 lychee martinis.
That is all.
Well, that is not all. But it sure is a highlight! Great happy hour, and decent food to boot. I recently had the coconut curry chicken and washed it down with one of those awesome $5 lychee martinis. OK I'm lying.…More »

This cafe is a charming, if not tiny, little coffeehouse in my neighborhood (the equally small yet charming Alphabet City). I found myself on a sick day on a Thursday and was craving the opportunity to get out of the house, as well as some buttery,…More »

OK, so I've guilted myself into writing a review. I come here a LOT. And not only because it's uber convenient to my house (us Avenue A-er's gotta stick togetha!), but because of the fantastic happy hour special.
Let me start by saying one thing.…More »

GREAT place for tapas - groups are good to go here, as are dates. The cucumber sangria is definitely a standout ($16 for a carafe).
The pork belly melts right in your mouth, and the Egg in a Blanket is amazing with or without baguette.
Service is at…More »

This place is pretty sweet, if for nothing else but the fact that it's within stumbling distance of my apartment. Wow, way to sound like a lush, right?
Hm. Let me start over. This place is pretty sweet because they offer a $6 can o' Rolling Rock…More »

TWO WORDS. TRANNY BINGO.

Oh yes, Yelp, YAY, I AM a fan.
I had the Juicy Lucy burger, and the menu warned me that - careful - the CHEESE that's stuffed INSIDE the burger might SQUIRT, and squirt it did, mmmm mmmmm. How much more awesomeness can you fit into one sentence? For…More »

Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhoods: East Village, Alphabet City
This place is fantastic, mostly because of three things: the burgers, the beer, and the ability to play footsie under the table if you so desire.
They make a mean burger here, and have a good beer selection to boot. Also, their fries are the…More »

$4 margaritas never hurt anyone after a crappy day at work. And for $4 happy hour margaritas, those puppies have some zing! For instance, I was there one fine Tuesday, and stuck around drinking margaritas long enough for it to turn from "afternoon"…More »

Essex is a great brunch place for those who believe in the good old-fashioned "hair of the dog" remedy. $20 gets you a heaping plate of brunch with 3 bloody marys or mimosas. Been there twice, and got the Mexican Matzoh Brei each time. It's a…More »

This place LOOKS so cute!
I tried a couple from their selection of "famous" tacos - Brazo de Oro (spicy pork) and the Ciclon Ramirez (chicken w/ chipotle). Tacos were awesome, albeit a tad bit on the pricey side ($4.50 and $4). I'd say La Esquina…More »
