Recent transplant to the increasingly yuppifying LES attempting to chronicle the happenings of the 'hood in this placeblog as an experiment in locative art.
Amazing ex-speakeasy spot with a long narrow dimly lit entrance in the back of a building, cocktails in tea cups and beer bottles in brown paper bags! The Back Room, also known as the LES Toy Co. is definitely worth checking out!
Totally amazing Nepali dumplings for $6.50 - and completely worth it! Cafe himalaya is where it's at!

Verlaine has $5 Lychee Martini's till 10pm every day? Really! And,
they're strong too. I totally started feeling it after two drinks. The
high ceilings and the soft lighting adds to the ambience. Good date
place that is exceptionally busy before 10pm, naturally!

Forget Bereket (you know, the place next door) - Ashkara kicks all sorts of ass. The falafels aren't cheap but they ARE delicious!
Check it out next time you're craving some post-alcohol carbs.

You know Moby, right? The musician? Teany is his tea shop! Tea Pots start around $4 and last forever. And the place is kinda romantic and definitely date friendly. I'm not sure if it's meant to be TeaNY or just teany-tiny but it is worth a visit...

And the line of cabs outside Punjabi Grocery & Deli Incorporated tells you how authentic the food is :)

Cheap and semi-tasty vegetarian Indian food on the LES at Punjabi Grocery & Deli. $4 gets you a full meal!
