3rd Av descriptions

• Description of Gamestop

  - Apr 7, 2008 12:13:11 AM

  Great little spot to pick up new and used video games. Good staff, good selection.

• Description of Zoom Video & Photo Inc

  - Apr 7, 2008 12:11:08 AM

  Great little shop with cool selection of games, videos, and all kinds of electronics. Great staff, and clean store.

• Description of Taco Bell

  - Apr 6, 2008 11:56:14 PM

  A taco bell location that's usually impossible during lunch hours. Clean conditions.

• Description of Taco Bell

  - Apr 6, 2008 11:51:21 PM

  A good location. Basic Taco Bell with various Mexican fast food selections.

• Description of McDonald's

  - Apr 6, 2008 11:39:13 PM

  Regular fast food joint, typical location.

• Description of McDonald's

  - Apr 6, 2008 11:36:01 PM

  Basic location, regular service, what you'd expect from fast food.

• Description of Food For Health Inc

  - Apr 6, 2008 6:50:29 PM

  Good selection of health food at affordable prices.

• Description of Burger King

  - Apr 6, 2008 6:48:04 PM

  Decent, clean Burger King.

• Description of Prince Deli

  - Feb 29, 2008 7:20:18 PM

  Experiment with everything here, because they have a very eclectic mix of offerings from middle eastern food to pizza and back again.

• Description of Muldoon's Irish Pub

  - Feb 29, 2008 7:19:03 PM

  There are many Irish bars in New York not frequently by people who have lived in Ireland (or had relatives who lived in Ireland) but it's interesting to see exactly who the decor at least attracts. One Tuesday night Muldoon's was full of frat dudes, but regulars swear there is usually more of an interesting mix.

• Description of The Original Soup Man

  - Feb 29, 2008 7:16:59 PM

  At one point does not being an original but still calling yourself one become annoying to New Yorkers? No one really seems convinced about who the original soup dude is, but you can find good soup here, so perhaps that is original enough.

• Description of Blarney Stone

  - Feb 29, 2008 7:14:13 PM

  This is an Irish bar that doesn't take the Irish theme as far as you might expect considering the name, Interesting selection of beers and awesome juke box.

• Description of Dukes

  - Feb 29, 2008 1:45:51 PM

  A little loud but the ambiance is pure happiness. If you'd like to join the typical less annoying tourist they may surely be found at this diner-type joint.

• Description of Euro Diner

  - Feb 29, 2008 1:43:38 PM

  If you need a place to grab something fairly quickly to eat when you are waiting to pick someone at Grand Central, this is a good choice. It's not as packed as many New York diners, even at the busiest times.

• Description of Third and Long

  - Feb 29, 2008 1:42:13 PM

  So perhaps it's not exceedingly hard detective work to figure out that this place is a sports bar, but it's a sports bar with a secret: people dance here on weekends.

• Description of Carl’s Steaks

  - Feb 29, 2008 1:40:56 PM

  And by "steaks" they mean "cheesesteaks" which of course are very tasty, but really different than a t bone. it's important to know these things in advance. They also deliver.

• Description of Blockheads

  - Feb 29, 2008 1:38:50 PM

  Something about this simple burrito place inspires breathtaking loyalty from its patrons. Perhaps there is something extra special in the sauce, or perhaps it just reads "won't you by neighbor" all over it.

• Description of Mercury Bar

  - Feb 29, 2008 1:36:17 PM

  This is a serious drinking bar for serious drinking folks, some of whom might even be out of college.

• Description of LaSalle ice cream

  - Feb 29, 2008 1:35:11 PM

  This ice cream shop must be incredible because it is busy year round no matter what time of day and even on the very coldest winter days.

• Description of Silver Star Deli

  - Feb 29, 2008 1:34:03 PM

  Every block should have such a lovely little understated sandwich stop where they remember if you prefer mustard or mayonnaise .

• Description of Marco Shoe Repair

  - Feb 29, 2008 1:28:35 PM

  yes, Virginia, people do indeed still fix shoes. This is one such place, with a friendly vibe and environmentally conscious staff!

• Description of Supercuts

  - Feb 29, 2008 1:27:02 PM

  Say what you want about Supercuts: it's cheap here and super convenient. Also this store doesn't have the kind of attitude you find at other Manhattan hair cutting places!

• Description of Iron Sushi

  - Feb 29, 2008 1:25:06 PM

  This 3rd avenue destination caters to vegetarians, that is, the REAL vegetarians who don't eat fish. Great even for carnivores because of their veggie ingredients taste so fresh.

• Description of Dip Bar lounge and fondue

  - Feb 29, 2008 1:23:31 PM

  Fondue seems less a style of food than a way of eating it which, by the way, is very messy. Perhaps this shouldn't be combined with drinking, which is what makes Dip so interesting; no one seems to care.

• Description of Shear Bliss

  - Feb 29, 2008 1:21:38 PM

  Not the cheapest place on 3rd avenue for a haircut, but they can often work you in the same day.

• Description of Copolla's

  - Feb 29, 2008 1:19:06 PM

  Quaint doesn't quite begin to describe this northern italian restaurant, it's more like quaint squared, as it's slightly more ambitious and visually pleasing than quaint.

• Description of La Delice Pastry Shop

  - Feb 29, 2008 1:15:55 PM

  Ah cheesecake, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...cheesecake is the best item here, followed closely by their cannolis, if you get them when they are fresh.

• Description of East Japanese Restaurant

  - Feb 29, 2008 1:13:09 PM

  Need sushi? This conveyor belt sushi place is a smiling, raw fish eating good time.

• Description of La Posada

  - Feb 29, 2008 12:51:35 PM

  Very small mexican place with good delivery service and a tiny dining area.

• Description of Mad Hatter

  - Feb 29, 2008 12:49:17 PM

  This eclectic (for an Irish bar) bar and grill is an interesting east village phenomenan. Many people consider it a sports bar, yet it doesn't feel like one when there aren't big games going on.

• Description of ziggiz

  - Feb 29, 2008 12:46:45 PM

  This is a burger place in an area of town sorely lacking in burger places. Also has interesting and excellent fries.

• Description of Pick a Bagel on Third

  - Feb 29, 2008 12:44:06 PM

  This place has bagels reputed to be some of the best of the city and is always always always busy. If it's open, be prepared for a crowd.

• Description of Lyric Diner Coffee Shop

  - Feb 29, 2008 12:42:26 PM

  Awesome, busy place for breakfast, especially weekday mornings. Don't miss the sunshiney eggs!

• Description of Black Bear Lodge

  - Feb 29, 2008 12:41:02 PM

  For such a he-man bar, it's amazing that their most popular happy hour item is their 3 buck frozen margaritas. Don't be alarmed, you may see a dead deer head or two here.

• Description of Gramercy Natural Frontier Market

  - Feb 29, 2008 12:38:15 PM

  These folks know how to do vegan baked goods that taste like baked goods rather than sports equipment.

• Description of Gramercy Park Flower Shop

  - Feb 29, 2008 12:36:33 PM

  This one happenin' flower store! You might want to check out their website before you go in, because the wait to talk with a florist can be a bit, their services are very popular.

• Description of Fancy Cleaners

  - Feb 29, 2008 12:34:36 PM

  Their service may be fancy but the folks who run Fancy Cleaners are just down home folks, who never ask you how you got that stain, which is a nice touch.

• Description of La Petit Cannard

  - Feb 29, 2008 12:32:47 PM

  Add a french name to anyplace and it will become super popular, at least in the east village. Get there early on Saturdays or it will be a long wait!

• Description of Happy Palace Chinese

  - Feb 29, 2008 12:30:52 PM

  An fine example that cheap chinese food can still be good. Don't forget the bubble tea!

• Description of Kosushi

  - Feb 29, 2008 12:29:24 PM

  This is a good little, cheap Sushi place. Cheap, meaning inexpensive, not meaning "oh you might get food poisoning."

• Description of Still

  - Feb 29, 2008 11:57:20 AM

  This is definitely a straight person's meat market, with good drink specials and interesting bouncer action.

• Description of Paquitos

  - Feb 29, 2008 11:56:14 AM

  Definitely try the large entree offerings here, which tend to be better than the appetizers. Big enough to split, in many cases.

• Description of Natural Green market

  - Feb 29, 2008 11:54:39 AM

  To call this a "bodega" is to underestimate the depth and breadth of the offerings here. Don't miss the fresh flowers!

• Description of Dashing Diva

  - Feb 29, 2008 11:53:19 AM

  You'd never know this east village nail place is actually a chain; the personal service and relaxed atmosphere is more common amongst the mom and pop variety of pedicure palaces.

• Description of Hattan Cleaners

  - Feb 29, 2008 11:50:14 AM

  The real mystery about this place is: how do you pronounce the name? Like the end of Manhattan? With a soft "a?" No one knows for sure, and the people at the front desk sure aren't talking.

• Description of Jam Envelope and Paper

  - Feb 29, 2008 11:48:58 AM

  If you just need a few sheets of paper to print out your resume, this is not the place to go. However, if you love all sorts of stationery, fancy envelopes, bags etc you can (and will) spend hours browsing here.

• Description of Duane Reade

  - Feb 29, 2008 11:43:34 AM

  What can't you buy at Duane Reade? Check out their interesting collection of condoms...er, selection of condoms, which for some reason are covered in dust. Aren't people using protection in the east village these days?

• Description of Ricky’s Look Good Feel Good

  - Feb 29, 2008 11:40:31 AM

  it;s hard to describe Ricky's to someone who hasn't been there. It's kind of like a Duane Reade on acid.

• Description of 99 miles to philly

  - Feb 29, 2008 11:38:01 AM

  Sometimes in life, nothing will make you feel better except for a cheesesteak. If that's the case, head to 99 Miles to Philly and see what all the fuss is about.

• Description of Gothic Cabinet Craft

  - Feb 29, 2008 11:36:28 AM

  Okay Goths, listen up: they aren't against black eye make up here, but on the other hand they aren't living and dying for it either. So don't expect an actual gothic hang out, although you can pick up some nice cabinetry work here!

• Description of Bar None

  - Feb 29, 2008 11:33:43 AM

  One of the youngest crowds in all of Manhattan hangs out here, so if you're looking for folks of the barely 21 subset, you'll find everyone you're been searching for right here.

• Description of Blue Nine Burger

  - Feb 29, 2008 9:47:57 AM

  You can certainly get cheaper burgers in the east village, but they won't be as juicy or as tasty or made with same amount of attitude and love.

• Description of Yummy House Noodles and More

  - Feb 29, 2008 9:46:39 AM

  If you want the simplest, easiest of Chinese food come to Yummy. It will be, indeed, yummy and even your most plebian friends will be pleased.

• Description of Rocket Wraps

  - Feb 29, 2008 9:45:05 AM

  The east village location of Rocket Wrapps offers free delivery...and it's not like you have to worry about wraps getting cold, right?

• Description of Nevada Smith

  - Feb 29, 2008 9:43:37 AM

  Nevada Smiths' tag line is "where football is religion" and they are so not kidding. Watch who you cheer for if you don't want to be a greasy spot on the floor.

• Description of Village Pour House Bar and Grill

  - Feb 29, 2008 9:40:47 AM

  There is something about the Village Pour House that makes you wonder if you're smack dab in the Midwest instead of the east village. But go here definitely for the big game.

• Description of Morning to Midnight Japanese Restaurant

  - Feb 29, 2008 9:38:03 AM

  This east village Japanese restaurant is known for it's early opening hours (hence the name) as well as their mouth kickin' volcano roll!

• Description of Loews Village VII

  - Feb 29, 2008 9:36:15 AM

  This east village metroplex (if seven theaters can be called a metroplex) is quieter than many other theaters in town, especially the ones near midtown where every movie is an audience participation adventure. See first run movies here when they open and you'll still be able to hear the dialogue...mostly.

• Description of Biomed Drugs and Surgical Supply

  - Feb 29, 2008 9:34:17 AM

  it's hard to believe that a surgical supply store can stay in business with such high Manhattan rents, but you'll find helpful and interested sales people here.

• Description of Citi Habitats

  - Feb 29, 2008 9:32:21 AM

  New York realty brokers (which are almost always apartment brokers, except for brokers that specialize in commercial places) get a bad rap. A very bad rap, mostly because their fees are so crazy expensive. However, if you're pressed for time, moving from out of town, or looking for something specific in a specific neighborhood, the folks at Citi might just make your life a whole lot easier.

• Description of Excel Custom Framing

  - Feb 29, 2008 9:29:20 AM

  Sometimes you just need something framed. Like a college diploma, or a piece of toast with a likeness of the Virgin Mary. Excel will do either of these, and do an excellent job although the service won't come cheap.

• Description of STA Travel

  - Feb 29, 2008 9:26:11 AM

  This travel agency specializes in student travel (not surprising, since it's so close to NYU) and often good deals can be found here, as well as a friendly ear to talk through your travel plans

• Description of American Apparel

  - Jan 24, 2008 10:56:21 AM

  Trendy, comfy, sweatshop-free clothing for men and women, kids and even dogs. Lots of brightly colored t-shirts as well as skirts, shorts, gym socks, underwear, lingerie and more. Open daily.

  - Jan 23, 2008 4:21:49 PM

  Basic Chinese food delivery place. Decent selection, free delivery.

• Description of Starbucks Coffee

  - Jan 23, 2008 3:09:29 PM

  A small Starbucks serving lots of students and people who work near Union Square. Wi-fi available. Open daily.

• Description of Dreamer's Pizza

  - Jan 23, 2008 12:05:06 PM

  Great Pizza place with speedy delivery and one of the best cheese calzones around.

• Description of Foot Locker

  - Jan 23, 2008 12:01:43 PM

  A nice foot locker with a decent selection and nice staff. Very clean and well organized.

• Description of McDonald's

  - Jan 23, 2008 11:57:09 AM

  A decently clean and organized location. Usually handles rush well, and staff is considerate.

• Description of Bally's Total Fitness

  - Jan 23, 2008 11:52:48 AM
