2007-04-05 04:48:00 I tapped my episcopalian roots this evening as I walked the streets of the East Village .

The evening was cold and damp and reminds ... More About: Church

2007-03-27 04:03:00 When I was in college during the musical reign of Duran Duran and the Eurythmics, it was required that I read a book containing the collected works of William Wordsworth.

2007-03-26 04:59:00 What a nice bag they have there at Le Miu.

East Village Graffiti on Avenue A
2007-03-24 22:51:00 Even though the East Village of New York City has changed a lot in the past 15 years, the graffiti -somehow- remains. I’m not sure when the graffiti artists are ‘out,’ but I have yet to see anyone do any spraying or ‘tagging’ as long as I’ve been here. Maybe they wait until ... More About: Graffiti , East Village
East Village Melts Into The Subway
2007-03-19 03:53:00 Winter is in its final throws - at least that’s what I’m thinking. Friday turned frigid in New York City with the beginning of a mild snowstorm that may have topped out at around 4 or 5 inches. But, by Saturday, the snow was on the way out with temps in the 40s. ...

2007-03-16 12:23:00 The Hewitt Buidling continues to be deconstructed in the East Village. This old, New York City landmark (of sorts) was part of Cooper Union and the building has been finally demolished in favor of creating a “pleasure palace.“ The new look will be slightly (read: sarcasm) different and should provide a striking balance to the ...

Tofu, Broccoli, New Saigon in the East Village
2007-02-28 04:45:00 New York City has a zillion chinese food restaurants. It also has a few vietnamese restaurants. In spite of its name, I’m not sure what “New Saigon” is. It seems Chinese in its cuisine but with pictures of Ho Chi MInh City behind the cash register - maybe not. Despite the discrepencies, I ... More About: Food , East , East Village , Tofu , Broccoli
Avenue A Sushi
2007-02-25 19:01:00 Avenue A came throught last night with an extraordinary value when comparing to the competition.

Esashi Sushi
2007-02-23 13:40:00 Last night’s sushi adventures took EVP to Esashi, a sushi restaurant on Avenue A between 3rd and 4th Sts. in the East Village. Overall, I find their take-out sashimi deluxe, priced at $21, a disappontment. It just didn’t seem like there was much sashimi in there. The presentation was lacking as ... More About: Food , Sushi

Takahachi Sushi
2007-02-10 04:38:00 Friday night means sushi indulgence as I tested the takeout of local sushi restaurant, Takahachi. Highlights included the salad and the brown rice.. I guess that means I didn’t like the sashimi or the asparagus roll, but it’s not true. Liked the sushi. Just didn’t find it very different. Perhaps ... More About: Food , Sushi

The Houston Village Farm: The Corner Deli
2007-01-31 12:58:00 The corner deli on First Avenue and Fourth Street in New York City’s East Village is, for some reason, called “Houston Village Farm ”. In that the deli is 4 blocks from Houston St., one would think this name isn’t good for business. But, morning, noon and night this is a reliable ... More About: Food , Corner

DBA: Home of the Surly Bartender
2007-01-26 04:53:00 I would say that the East Village bar, D.B.A., has almost always succeeded in one respect: the bartender is in a bad mood. I don’t know what’s wrong with them. I think the problem likely begins with ownership and they attract people just like themselves. I think I’ve seen ... More About: Drink , Home , Ender , Bart , Bartender
