The furniture at this lovely Avenue A coffee shop is from an old school house, and you'll feel super comfortable, slipping in to one of the mismatched chairs. The food is good and cheap–pasta, sandwiches, quiche, and lots of pastries. [more...]

It's a good thing this delicious sweet-spot isn't any closer to us or we'd certainly be ten pounds heavier. The tiny 1st Avenue shop wisely gave out free samples the first few days they were open, luring in a number of customers, [more...]

This neighborhood yarn shop givers lower Avenue A residents a cute spot to work on their purling. They offer specific classes for knitting hats, mittens, socks and sweaters, as well as general knitting workshops for all levels. [more...]

Learn to knit, perfect your skills, or just head to this cozy East Village spot to browse their wide selection of soft, colorful yarn or grab a coffee or tea at the cafe. Knit New York offers beginner, intermediate and advanced knitting [more...]

Itzocan Cafe and its larger UES offshoot, Itzocan Bistro are always filled with regulars, who toss back the Chile Relleno, entrees like Braised Flank Steak in Burgundy Chile Pasilla with Semolina Epazote dumplings, and the [more...]

Downtown east-siders swear by this tiny hole-in-the-wall, which serves up delicious, cheap Mexican food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Vegetarians get their fair share of goods; the Veggie Breakfast Burrito–eggs, spinach, green [more...]

The waitstaff at both branches of this Mexican restaurant are attentive and ready to offer suggestions, should you be overwhelmed by the large, mouth-watering menu. We love the roasted pineapple/chile rubbed pork quesadillas, the spicy [more...]

Self-proclaimed "Bubble Tea Freaks" laud this East Village tea house for its great, long list of teas. Try the Taro or Sesame Milk Teas (Green and Black, respectively). For chow, Saint's offers bites like Minced Pork and Vegetable [more...]

The staff is warm and attentive at this family-owned bakery, where $3.50 will get you a hunk of red velvet cake, topped with fruit and cream cheese frosting. They also offer treats like cheesecake brownies, horns–cinnamon, chocolate, [more...]

When this East Village eatery opened in 2006, the lines were out the door. They were so busy, that they were only open from 6-10pm, in order to spend the day preparing enough mac and cheese. Now that they're open all day, everyone can [more...]

Everything is so good at this cute West Village restaurant and it's East Vil. offshoot, aptly named Westville East. The Smoky Mac & Cheese, with optional bacon, is made with cellentani noodles which hold its smoky flavor well. [more...]

Though the portions at this East Village soul food restaurant can be on the small side, the waitstaff is amiable and the food delicious. Main dishes–think chicken, catfish, salmon, etc–and the sides–mac and cheese, candied yams, [more...]

We headed to this former Pizzeria Uno with the bar set pretty low; after all, the last time we were there (with visiting relatives), we chomped our way through a "Chicago Style" deep dish pizza. This time, however, we ordered [more...]

Located just west of the Nexus of the Universe, this East Village restaurant's three meals–lunch, dinner, brunch–provide nouveau American, eclectic, and international cuisine with nice little twists. At lunch, we sunk our teeth into [more...]

Named for the daughter of the owners–Maristella Innocenti and Esteban Coppi–this East Village restaurant serves up fresh, delicious food that is a cross between Italian and Mexican. The menu is chockablock with so many enticing [more...]

The crowd at this Avenue A sports hangout is definitely loud. The bar smells a little bit–of manly men, beer, and fried food, mostly–but the friendly crowd is there to have a good time, which they certainly do, making full use of [more...]

The front room of this East Village bar is incredibly chaotic; serious sports fans will want to hit one of the two back rooms, where 19 plasma screens await. More than 50 varieties of bottled beer and plenty of draft are served here, [more...]

Though this wee pub serves no food, they do supply menus from local joints like Atomic Wings, Paul's Burger, and Lombardi's Pizza. Fans gather to watch their team(s) on the bar's 7 plasma TV's and drink a nice selection of American [more...]

Whether you come to Three of Cups for their delicious food, their daily Happy Hour, or the DJs spinning 6 nights a week until 4am. Traditional Italian is on the menu; we dig the Spaghetti Puttanesca–spicy plum tomato sauce with [more...]
