Cute little brunch place in the West Village with signature West Village characteristics: small, rustic, and longggg waits.

SO MUCH FUN! Valerie G., Shelley Y. and I went and walked in the parade as zombie fairy princess, nerdy cat, and wounded cop. The details on the website said we could only join between 6:30 and 8:30PM. It took a little longer than expected for us to…More »

Every time I come to Buffalo Exchange, I never leave without their signature green plastic bags filled with goodies I've discovered. It's like hunting for treasure while you're there...but without a map.

I really want to give Poco 5 stars...but it just wasn't quite there for me!!

I was lucky that someone was new or didn't know because I was able to reserve a table for 14 people at 1:30PM on Sunday for brunch! Apparently they never do that but allowed…More »

I bought the $30 Living Social deal for $30 of food at Nomad and 2 movie tickets from Fandango. Before going, I read the reviews and was a little afraid the food wouldn't be good and the service would be subpar, but I didn't have any issues at all!!

What a neat little place! It's quaint, cozy and a great place to get your booze on. We wanted to go to a chill bar to pregame a little before we went to Affiare for a friend's birthday party. We originally wanted to go to McSorley's but it was wayyyy…More »

I have such a love hate relationship with Jebon.

Loved it when I was 21- and no one ever questioned our chugging of sake and sake slushes (only $6 and all the flavors are delish - although my personal fav is lychee) like they're water.

Loved that…More »

I first tried Spot a couple of years ago when it opened and was not too impressed with the cupcake I had (salted caramel). From what I remembered it wasn't very salty, the frosting was a little too sweet, and the cake not that moist!

Over the past couple of years, this Momofuku MIlk Bar has been on the decline!

Let's have an AFFAIRE or at least this is what we were promised. It's a cute name for a bar/lounge, but really confusing!! I'm glad we just stayed in one spot or else I would have never found my way around.

The music was AWFUL. They played really…More »
