freezing in the east village



last night i went with my man to a going away drinks thing for some chick that's moving to la. he didn't know the address of where were going!??! (poor research on his part) and we walked the east village for about 15 mins in 10 degree weather (and i was starving!) if you know me at all this combo is NO GOOD! :) however when we found ella 9 ave a (btwn 1st and 2nd street) 212.777.2230  http://ellalounge.com/ i was pleasantly surprised. this place was rad! its something out of a 20's glam lounge/boudoir. they played really nice eclectic tunes and some dope old hip hop. the place just recently opened and i can't wait to go back. its beautiful inside with a small private (50 person capacity) performance space downstairs. i tried befriending the bouncer/manager-type fella inside. we'll see if that worked to my advantage when i go back. 

after that we went to joe's shanghi 9 pell street 212.233.8888  for soupy bunzzz, scallion pancakes, and moo shu chicken (yumm) this spot is consistent and always tasty! i've written about joe's before! only last night i didn't have the pleasure of the other 2 dub eff's that came last time (og and james) and so i was forced to order conservatively :(
