The East Village Institution

July 30, 2015July 30, 2015dining, food, restaurantLeave a Comment

I’d walked pass Frank Restaurant years before I stepped inside. Always noticing the white picket fence and thinking next time. Once I learned The Meatball Shop founders got there kitchen expertise at this place, I went.

Now, this is my default eatery for a mid-week meal for two. I’ve never make a reservation and have never had to wait more than 10 minutes for a table. There is no bad seat in this establishment because the food is amazing. I would stand and eat, to be honest. This is great Italian food just the way I like it, saucy.

Service: Attentive and you can sit for hours.

Food: Authentic and hearty.

Decor: Dark, romantic and rustic.

Beverage: Full Service bar.

Lower East Side Gallery Outting

I checked out an edgy two-person exhibition, Dirty Words, featuring new works by Joe Nanashe and Michael Scoggins, in collaboration with Catinca Tabacaru Gallery.

The works were aesthetically pretty, especially all the framed pieces- the works seemed suspended in mid-air- and the content was definitely a conversation starter.
The presentation is from JUNE 25th – JULY 31st 2105- go check it out.

I was fortunate to join a private event at Ink48 Hotel’s rooftop lounge The Press Lounge.

The weather was absolutely perfect, for partaking in a elegant kick off party for the Fancy Food Show and a great bird’s eye view of the reveler’s from NYC’s Pride Weekend.

Hip Hopping Around Town

July 1, 2015UncategorizedLeave a Comment

With no plans, I went traveling around nyc with my buddy. Our Journey began at Union Square park, with the intent to work our way uptown.

After doing some light shopping in the flatiron area, we stopped at
Eataly rooftop: La Birreria, for some cold drinks, cheese assortments and salads.

Next, we waddled our way over to East Village Social to sang some happy hour drinks. Upon our departure, we stumbled on this Art exhibit, in Tompkins Square Park.

The last stop, on our 10 mile walk, ended with white wine, assorted fresh breads and olives at a brand spanking new Lois. It felt great to sit. The food was very fresh and the aroma coming from the kitchen was out of this world, bread pudding and caramel. We were lucky enough to grab seats at the opened windows, which gave us a great view of the gorgeous ceiling and passersby.

Touring NYC- Street Art

New York is already exciting, but to then be walking along and see modern art in such an exposed manner, it’s quite thrilling.

I respect all the work and also the people who let the art remain. It’s such beautiful thing to see people observe the work as if they are in a museum, New York is surprising in that respect.

Soho, Tribeca, Lower East Side, and East Village.
