When The Hangover Strikes

We’ve got a chilly gray day kicking off the holiday weekend, seems like a perfectly good excuse to go sit in a dark movie theatre with a bunch of immature dudes

Sweet & salty WiAnno oysters arrived this morning, known as the pretty oyster. Got the crew downstairs cleaning them for tonight’s service.

It’s Like Thunder And Lightning

So who got caught in this morning’s sun shower? We did. Afternoon thunder storm? We did. Early evening torrential downpour? We did. #hattrick

The Citi Bike program launches May 27. Our friend Neil sent us this handy map, super helpful in locating all the bike stations throughout the city. Um, exactly.

You Can’t Hurry Love

Last night our neighbors Jeff & Paul tied the knot. After 20 years of dating – #respect. A sunset ceremony on the water at The Frying Pan.

Excellent wedding favors but then again wouldn’t expect anything less from a couple that marries in Japanese couture.

Chowing down on chili dogs and cheeseburgers hot of the grill with a city skyline view was one of funnest wedding meals. And our whiskey cake was part of the viennese table!

See you upstate!

Puttin’ On The Ritz

We can’t stop laughing at being lumped in with such a fancy pants group, talk about red herring. It’s super cool but super funny too.

They Might Be Giants

Came back from lunch, getting ready to open for service when we noticed this…um, right out in front our shop. Gives new meaning to the term tree hugger.


He/She moves too, apologies for the Blair Witch effect but just because we own a smart-phone doesn’t mean we (husband) know how to use it.

And to think folks were concerned that the invasion of 7-11 would gentrify our East Village. Not. A. Chance.

See you upstate!
