1 Dominick Makes Its Mark

You might be a ticket holder for one of HERE Arts Center's many offerings and looking for a little something to eat before the show. You might find yourself in SoHo feeling a bit peckish. You might find yourself at 1 Dominick
to see what everyone is talking about.

You can read about 1 Dominick's opening this week in New York Magazine's Grub Street or you can also check out the write up on Thrillist.com.

1 Dominick is a new cafe adjacent to the HERE Art's Center that is open for breakfast and beyond. The menu features hot and cold dishes with a decidedly Italian flare and Brooklyn's Gorilla coffee. 1 Dominick is currently awaiting its liquor license but promises to offer a selection of Italian beer and wine to please your palate.

iPhone + urbanspoon = Jimmy's No. 43

Frank Bruni, in Wednesday's New York Times Dining Section, finds Jimmy' s No. 43 on his iPhone.

Playing with the iPhone, urbanspoon.com picks Jimmy's no.43 as the most popular East Village restaurant. Bruni referenced it as the "sort of gastro pub Jimmy's No. 43".

It's cool that Bruni mentioned Jimmy's No. 43. Funny that he's just playing with mobile devices.

What Makes a Great New York Restaurant?

Tonight I read an interview with an English chef about his favorite NYC food spots. His tastes seem sensible and mature and it raises a few questions: Do all NYC restaurants have to be starred to be good? Can traditional food shops, like Katz's Deli, and the East Village Meat Market, be considered purveyor's of "good" food? Can it be considered "slow food" if a pub outsources it's St. Patrick's Day corned beef to a traditional local butcher? Good questions all.

"Dependably Delicious, Not to Mention Interesting..."

Writers Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg (Andrew pictured to the left raising a glass with Jimmy) visited Jimmy's No. 43 in early June and sampled a feast of appetizers. In particilar they enjoyed the house-made octopus and heirloom pig head cheese, the locally made ossabaw hog coppa, and the charred tomato gazpacho with soft shell crab. They are great supporters of NYC chefs and restaurants; we particulary like their revised Becoming a Chef book, with a chapter titled "Persevering in the Face of Reality". It is a bible for culinary students.

Italian Beers on Draught THIS WEEK!

Jimmy's No. 43 is featuring 2 very rare (and delicious) Italian beers on draught this week. Some of you may have tasted either of these in bottle at certain beer bars. Jimmy's No. 43 will be serving both on draught this week. In fact, as far as we know, this is the only time in NYC that both of these exquisite beers have been made available on draught at one location.

1. Birrificio di Piccolo, Seson Saison style, flavored with chinotto
2. Birrificio di Como, double malted stout
