Remember the Salvation Army store on the corner of Bedford Avenue and North 7th Street?  Above, and below, is what is left of the building that desperately needed to be gutted…. finally.  Rumor has it that Apple owns this building, and many others throughout NYC.  When I discovered this info I had to ask, “Is an Apple […]

The Meatball Shop on Bedford Avenue is an instant classic, and I do mean instant.  On opening day there was a 45 minute wait for seating, at 6:30pm.  Just one week later, on a Tuesday of all days, I tried to grab a table at 7:30pm….and what do you know……an hr wait for seating.  Owners […]

Well you can’t expect EVERY new establishment to be the sh#t can you?  One of Williamsburg’s newest bar/restaurants opened it’s doors a few weeks ago right on the corner of Bedford Avenue and North 9th Street.  The bar is called TRIX.  What an odd name.  After nosing around a bit I discovered that the name, […]
