first and foremost
i must tell you about the all time best place in the east village to get a cheap, no frills breakfast, by a tattooed and pierced waitress
and leave totally full fur under 5 bucks including tip!! and a phone number or two!
The Life Cafe' on Ave B and 10th Street
Life deserves much applauce because they were early Avenue B pioneers. From their wraparound outdoor seating to the ram,bam rock&roll rustic interior they have looked out on Thompkins Square Park and doled out enough burgers and nachoes to fill Rosie Odonnell and ELizabeth Taylor on a bulimic binge since yuppies were afraid to come east of Avenue A..
The drinks are strong, the happy hour cheap, but come, come, come for the breakast. $2.75 buys you bitter strong coffee as many refills as you want, eggs any way you like em, hash browns or rice and beans, biscuit or cornbread and a whole lotta attention from a 20-something waitress with no Bra.
Life is worth living!
Alphabet Kitchen just opened a little over a year ago (or was it two..my how time flys when you're having sangria) on 11th street and Avenue A.
This sexy, lowlit, Latin eatery pours some great sangria and tapas to die for. I love the stuffed chilies and the olive plate. For dinner they have a lamb shank that's so melt off the bone, you don't have to chew it. I love food I don't have to chew, don't ask me why? but Jews hate to chew if we can avoid it, hence goulash, lamb shank, chopped liver, you get the point.
Alphabet also has a fun new zinger called champagne sangria. Which is good for those who like a little bubble in their punch. BURP! sorry.
For those who love old world food with a high end kick, try the new and improved Leshkos on 7th and Ave. A. They kept the menu from the old Polish Diner but jazzed it up with oh so trendy and groovy decor. So basically you pay 15 bucks for the same blintz but you get to have it surrounded by gorgeous gay men dressed in Prada and with a cosmopolitan. I sit in the window and give mean looks to all the zero body-fat bitches with pierced bellybuttons. That's my fave sport....WHOOPS SORRY CHITLINS BUT EVIDENTLY WHILST I WAS IN P-TOWN
LESHKOS BECAME YUCA AND I DONT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE NEW JOINT
AS YET SINCE ITS NOT OPEN...SO IM GUESSING THE HOOD FOLKS GOT TIRED OF THE 15 BUCK BLINTZES NO MATTER HOW MUCH CUTENESS OR PRADA SURROUNDED IT....I DID LIKE THE WINDOW THOUGH..NOT THE FOOD BUT THE WINDOW WAS PRIMO AH WELLL...have to stare at the zero body fat bitches somewhere else....maybe Thompkins Square Park at the dog run...yeah...
Well that's it for this little dose...I'll be back tomorrow with the all time best place in the world to get your hair done while surrounded by mosquito netting.
